The Phantom

The Phantom of the Opera is a musical with book and lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and music by Charles Hart with additions from Richard Stilgoe. Lloyd Webber and Stilgoe also wrote the musical’s story. Based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, its central character is a masked figure who lurks beneath the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it.

The phantom was originally played by Canadian actor/singer Michel Girouard in the original English-language production in Toronto. In the Broadway production that opened in 1988, American actor Michael Crawford played the role. In the 2004 film adaptation, English actor Gerard Butler played the phantom.

Christine

Christine Daaé is the female protagonist and love interest of the titular character. She is a beautiful and talented soprano singer whom the Phantom, who falls in love with her, mentors. As a child, Christine was brought up by her deceased parents to believe that music is magical and that “the Phantom of the Opera” was her guardian angel, sending her lessons through her father’s violin.

Raoul

Raoul is the level-headed and practical love interest of protagonist Christine Daae. He deeply cares for her and tries to protect her from the Phantom’s dangers. Raoul is featured in some of the most memorable songs in the musical, such as “All I Ask of You” and “The Point of No Return”.

The Story

It all started in May of 1988 in Toronto, when a young, eager Canadian cast took to the stage to perform Phantom of the Opera. The story was a hit with audiences, and the cast quickly became known as the “Mirror Angel of Music.” The Canadian cast continued to perform Phantom of the Opera for years, and their performances were some of the most memorable and talked-about in the history of the show.

The Opera House

The Opera House is a building that is home to many Phantom of the Opera performances. The first Phantom of the Opera performance was held in the Opera House in 1889. The current Opera House is the third one that has been built on the same site. The first two were destroyed by fire. The current Opera House was built in 1911 and it is still used today for Phantom of the Opera performances.

The Phantom’s Lair

The Phantom’s Lair is a dark, mysterious place where the Phantom Of The Opera hides away from the outside world. It is a place where he can be free to composition his music and be with his ‘true love’ – the angel of music, Christine. But it is also a place of pain and loneliness, where the Phantom feels he can never be truly happy.

The Final Battle

The final battle between the Phantom and Raoul takes place in the Bowels of the Opera House after the Phantom has taken Christine captive. The two men fight over Christine’s soul, with the Phantom trying to convince her that they are destined to be together and Raoul trying to save her from a lifetime of misery. In the end, the Phantom is defeated and disappears into the night, leaving Christine and Raoul to start their life together.

The Ballad of the Phantom

The ballad of the phantom is a song cycle written by Canadian composer Rufus Wainwright. The cycle is based on the Gaston Leroux novel The Phantom of the Opera and tells the story of the Phantom’s unrequited love for the opera singer Christine Daaé.

The cycle was commissioned by Wainwright’s producer, Larry Klein, and originally scheduled to be recorded by Wainwright and Klein in Los Angeles in 2002. However, due to scheduling conflicts, recording did not begin until 2004. The album was released on October 26, 2004, by Decca Records.
