The Phantom of the OperaShe is singing tonight to bring the chandelier down! A famed Paris opera house is said to be haunted by a masked entity known locally as The Opera Ghost, or more colloquially, The Phantom of the Opera. When the lead singer at this opera house falls ill, Christine Daaé seizes the opportunity to take the spotlight. But the rumors of the masked phantom never cease, and soon after Christine takes stage, murder and mystery begin to plague the opera house. Who is the masked man stalking the nightly performances, and how does he maneuver so adeptly through the opera house? |
