The Paris Opera is haunted--everyone knows it. Everyone, that is, except for the new managers, who spark a violent dispute with the Opera Ghost when they refuse to acknowledge his existence or submit to his demands. Sometimes surfacing as a disembodied voice in Box Five or appearing as a gentleman in evening dress with a death's-head, the phantom is obsessed with Christine Daa , a lovely and enigmatic novice singer endowed with an amazing voice. But impetuous Viscount Raoul de Chagny is in love with Christine, and he and his brother, Count Philippe, are swept into the phantom's deadly illusion with horrifying consequences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Police reports, newspaper clippings, and witness interviews help a sleuthing narrator reconstruct the events of French author \u003cb\u003eGaston Leroux\u003c\/b\u003e's most famous tale, one that had a significant impact on contemporary detective fiction.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eFirst published\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ein 1911, \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom of the Opera\u003c\/i\u003e has since been the basis for many adaptations, including Lon Chaney's silent film and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony award-winning Broadway musical.
