In the depths of the Paris Opera House, 'The Phantom of the Opera,' known as Erik, has long tormented the staff with his demands and instilled fear through tales of his disfigured face. When Christine, a young woman with a beautiful voice, joins the company, Erik becomes enamored and secretly imparts his musical expertise to her. Despite Christine's affection for her childhood friend, Erik's obsessive love takes root, leading to her mysterious disappearance during a performance. This sets off a tragic and terrifying sequence of events. Leroux's renowned gothic horror narrative explores themes of unrequited love, passion, and tragedy, casting Erik as a dark and poignant anti-hero in his longing for Christine.
