THE STORY (THE BRIEF VERSION)

The Phantom is a “ghost” haunting the Paris Opera House, living

out of the underground tunnels (they really exist!). He was born

with a hideous deformity, and has been shunned from society,

despite his musical genius. He is madly in love with the beautiful

soprano Christine Daae who he has been secretly training under

the guise “Angel of Music.” When Christine’s childhood love

returns to Paris and sees her perform, the Phantom turns to

murder and causing general mayhem in the Opera, trying to keep

her in his life, and make her love him in return.
