The Phantom of the Opera: The Making of the Violin
The Phantom of the Opera: The Making of the Violin is a 2006 book by Robert Viagas and musicologist Francis Labbe that chronicles the history of the Stradivarius violin known as “The Phantom.” The book was published by Hal Leonard Corporation.
The violin, which is believed to have been made in Cremona, Italy in 1715, is one of only two surviving Stradivarius violins that were owned by Niccolo Paganini, the renowned Italian violin virtuoso. The other violin, known as the “Cannone,” was sold at auction in 2006 for more than $6 million.
The Phantom was donated to the University of Minnesota in 1950 by Frederick Rindge and has been on loan to many different violinists over the years. In 2004, the university decided to sell the instrument and it was purchased by an anonymous buyer for $5 million.
In 2006, Viagas and Labbe began researching the history of the violin and discovered that it may have been stolen from Paganini’s widow in 1854 by a dealer named Simone Sacconi. The duo also uncovered evidence that the violin may have been used as collateral for a loan in 1930 and was subsequently sold to Rindge for $75,000.
The book includes interviews with former owners of the violin, including Rindge’s daughter, who recounts her father’s purchase of the instrument. It also features photographs of the violin and its label, which bears Paganini’s name.

Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the ways that the violin can be used in performance, both in terms of its traditional classical role as well as its more modern pop and rock applications. We’ll also touch on some of the great violinists who have made their mark on these different genres.
The Phantom of the Opera: The Future of the Violin
The year is 2020, and the violin has been relegated to a supporting role in music. In popular music, the violin is often used as an accent instrument, providing short solos or playing short melody lines in counterpoint to the singer or lead instrument. In classical music, the violin still holds a prominent place in orchestras, but its role has been reduced in recent years. Many orchestras now use smaller string sections, and the violin is sometimes replaced by cheaper and more versatile keyboard instruments.
