The Phantom of the Opera

First published in serial form in Le Gaulois, Gaston Leroux''s bitter-sweet tale of love and rejection was inspired by real events that took place at the Paris Opera, now the Opera Garnier, in the 19th century. It tells the tale of the opera singer, Christine, her love for her childhood sweetheart Raoul, and the obsessions of the ''phantom'', a disfigured man called Erik who lives beneath the Opera, with Christine.
