Themes
There are two main themes in The Phantom of the Opera: music and passion.
Music is the most important thing in the Phantom’s life. He lives for music and he wants nothing more than to be a great composer. He is very talented and his music is beautiful, but he is also very shy and doesn’t want anyone to know that he is the Phantom.
Passion is what drives the Phantom. He is passionate about music and he is passionate about Christine, the girl he loves. He will do anything to make her happy, even if it means giving up his own happiness.

Life
The composer, also known as the angel of music, is a fictional character from the novel The Phantom of the Opera (1909), by Gaston Leroux.
He is a composer who lives in the catacombs under the Paris Opera House and was “born” there. He is in love with Christine Daaé, a young soprano at the Opera, and provides her with singing lessons and private coaching. He also writes music for her to sing. The phantom is obsessed with Christine and becomes jealous when she shows interest in Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny.
The phantom’s true identity is never revealed in the novel, though he is believed to be Erik, a Finnish man who was disfigured in a fire as a child. In Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of the novel, the phantom is revealed to be Erik, a French magician’s assistant who was born with deformities that caused him to be abandoned by his family. He was taken in by a travelling circus where he learned magic and took up residence in the catacombs under the Paris Opera House.

In addition to his work on “The Phantom of the Opera”, the composer also wrote a number of other well-known pieces, including “Angel of Music” (violin sheet music) and “The Black Swan” (piano sheet music).

Characters

It has been successfully adapted into various stage and film productions, most notably Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical.
The central character in the novel is Erik, also known as “the Phantom” or “theOpera Ghost”. A grotesque creature who was disfigured in a fire as a child, Erik hides his facial deformities behind a mask and lives hidden from society in the catacombs of the Paris Opera House. He exerts control over the entire building through his masterful manipulation of terror and uses economies of scale to make lavish productions possible on shoestring budgets. Erik develops an obsession with Christine Daaé, a beautiful young soprano singer whom he abducts and forces into submission using music and fear. The phantom becomes enraged when Christine returns the affections of Raoul de Chagny, another suitor from her youth whom she had virtually forgotten until they met again by chance shortly before Erik abducted her.
The haunting score of The Phantom of the Opera has some of the most memorable songs ever written for the stage, including “Think Of Me,” “Angel Of Music,” “The Phantom Of The Opera,” “Music Of The Night,” “All I Ask Of You,” and “Masquerade.”
