The Phantom of the Opera is one of the most famous stories in the world, and is celebrated on stage as an eerie, romantic mystery of a man/ghost with a musical mission and a woman with the voice of an angel. The main characters are Christine Daaë, the Phantom (Erik), and Raoul the Vicomte de Chagnyl. The place is the Paris opera house Le Palais Garnier and the story is one of bittersweet love and betrayal.

Christine Daaë grows up with the story about an "angel of music" who guides her in her passion for singing. The opera ghost, otherwise known as the "Phantom", lives under and haunts Le Palais Garnier. Once he hears Christine's voice, he falls in love with her. The problem is that Christine is in love with Raoul the Vicomte de Chagnyl, whom the Phantom despises. Another person who gets caught in the cross-fire is Carlotta, the prima donna of Le Palais Garnier. Carlotta's voice grates on the Phantom's nerves and he lets Carlotta know of his discontent. (To put it lightly.) The directors, Messieurs André and Firmin, become frustrated with the Phantom's intervention in the production of their shows. The Phantom, anxious to please Christine, starts killing people who he thinks are in the way of Christine's success, and in the process, terrifies Christine. Christine's respect and admiration for the Phantom dissolves with the deaths and threats caused by the Phantom. In the end, Raoul challenges the Phantom and the Phantom, "past the point of no return", leaves his lair in the murky under-dark of Le Palais Garnier. The players try to "track down" the Phantom, but lose him in the darkness of the Opera House's basement. The Phantom gets away, but the love he has for Christine is tainted with the blood shed from his "acts of love".

The Story( English and Chinese)

ENGLISH:

His voice calls to her, nurturing her extraordinary talents from the shadows of the opera house where innocent chorus girl Christine Daae (EMMY ROSSUM) makes her home. Only ballet mistress Madame Giry (MIRANDA RICHARDSON) knows that Christine's mysterious "Angel of Music" is actually the Phantom (GERARD BUTLER), a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs of the theatre, terrifying the ensemble of artists who live and work there.

When temperamental diva La Carlotta (MINNIE DRIVER) walks out in the middle of a dress rehearsal for the company's latest production, the theatre's eager new managers (SIMON CALLOW and CIARAN HINDS) have no choice but to thrust Christine into the spotlight.

Her mesmerizing opening night performance captivates both the audience and the Phantom, who devotes himself to casting his protégé as the opera's next star. But he is not the only powerful man to be awed by the young soprano, as Christine soon finds herself courted by the theatre's wealthy patron, the Vicompte Raoul de Chagny (PATRICK WILSON).

Though she is enthralled by her charismatic mentor, Christine is undeniably drawn to the dashing Raoul, enraging the Phantom and setting the stage for a dramatic crescendo in which soaring passions, fierce jealousies and obsessive love threaten to drive the fated lovers past the point of no return.
