Our story begins with Opera Populaire's manager, Lefevre, leaving. His
successors, Andre and Firmin, take over the opera, and bring with them
their new patron, le Victome Raoul de Changy. To celebrate their new
managers, the opera throws a gala, at which the leading diva refuses to
perform, due to the mysterious 'Opera Ghost' who seems determined to have
the screeching diva leave. Without a diva, Andre and Firmin are
strong-minded to find a new leading lady, so they invoke the talents of a
young, chorus-singer named Christine Daae, who has been taking lessons from
a mysterious tutor. Raoul, Christine's old childhood sweetheart, who
recognizes her at her triumphant gala performance, wants to bring Christine
back into his life. But, suddenly, Christine's mysterious tutor reveals
himself to her... Now, will Christine ask everything of Raoul or listen to
the Music of the Night?

get worse when Christine meets back up with her childhood acquaintance
Raoul and the two fall in love. The Phantom decides to kidnap her and
imprison her with him in his lair. Raoul is now the only one who can stop
him.
The story of a young chorus girl, Christine - a young talented singer who,
with the right training, could become world famous. While rehearsing at the
Opera Populaire, where weird and unexplainable things happen, she captures
the attention and the heart of The Phantom, or as the Opera Populaire call
him...The Opera Ghost. But he is no ghost - he is a disfigured musical
genius who has hidden away for years to avoid the cruel stares of
strangers. With the Phantoms help, Christine becomes the venue's leading
lady, but tragedy awaits as the young soprano has fallen for the charms of
handsome noble Viscount Raoul De Chagny, not realizing her Angel of Music
is deeply in love with her. Insane with jealousy and unable to see the
object of his affection, and ultimately is obsession, in the arms of
another man, The Phantom kidnaps Christine - unaware of the lengths Raoul
is prepared to go to get her back.
An architect and designer, a composer and magician. He's a genius who must
hide his facial disfigurement behind a mask and in the catacombs beneath
Paris's Opera Populaire, known only as the Phantom of the Opera or Opera
Ghost. His one companion is his young singing prot?g?, a soprano named
Christine Daae who is drawn to and mystified but at the same time terrified
of her Angel of Music whose rapturous voice sings songs in her head while
she sleeps and whispers in her ear during day. Everyone at the opera house
is used to the Phantom's deadly pranks when his demands are not met but
when a canopy falls on top of her, nearly crushing her, the opera's leading
diva: Carllota resigns. With no understudy, the mangers turn to Christine
who at the time was no more than a chorus girl. The show casts her into
immediate fame. But when Christine, whom the Phantom has fallen in love
with, accepts a marriage proposal from her childhood sweetheart Viscount
Raoul de Changy, the Phantom's heart is broken. His despair quickly turns
to furious, jealous rage and is willing to do anything to win her, even if
it means raising the stakes to the ultimate level in Christine's choice
between her love for Raoul and her strange attraction to the Phantom.
