The Phantom of the Opera was a mysterious character who terrorized the actors, directors and even the spectators who attended the shows at the famous Parisian theater. The only person who could see it up close and lived to tell, though briefly, described him as a skeleton wearing a black coat that covered his face with a mask and appeared and disappeared at will. This elusive and vengeful being secretly made his home in the catacombs of the Paris Opera, built on an underground lake shrouded in mist. But a day came when the Phantom of the Opera began to come out of hiding more than usual after falling in love with a young chorus girl, Christine. This impossible love will unleash one of the most sinister and evocative adventures of history.
