The Story
In whispers and hushes, the legend of the Phantom is spoken of at the Palais Opera. The Phantom has taken a new protégé in the beautiful and talented soprano Christine Daae, who assumes he is her ‘Angel of Music.’ The truth is that the Phantom is a man named Erik, who is disfigured and shunned by the world and who has retreated to the bowels of the Opera House which he has built for himself. The Phantom guides Christine and ensures she shines in her performances and gets them by hook or crook!
The Phantom is in love with Christine, who finds solace in her childhood friend and now romantic interest, Raoul. In a bid to keep her with him forever, the Phantom kidnaps Christine and forces her to marry him. But Raoul is helped by a stranger, the Persian, who takes him to the Phantom’s lair. Find out if the Phantom marries Christine or if she marries Raoul in this epic musical!
