The Phantom of the Opera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Phantom of the opera)
This article is about the Gaston Leroux novel. For other works based on the novel, see The Phantom of the Opera (adaptations).
The Phantom of the Opera (Le Fantôme de l’Opéra in French) is a French novel by Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909 to January 8, 1910. It is believed to have been inspired by George du Maurier's Trilby. It was translated into English in 1911. It has since been adapted many times into film and stage productions, the most notable of which was Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical, which is now the longest running Broadway show in history, and the most lucrative entertainment enterprise of all time, its worldwide box office over the past 20 years out-grossing even the highest grossing film in history, Titanic.
The story is about a man named Erik, a demented genius with a deformed face, who terrorizes the Opera Garnier, under which he builds his lair and where he takes the love of his life, a beautiful soprano, under his wing.

Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
i personally liked the book better than both the play and the movie. it's darker and creepier. it includes more fantasy and magical elements. you should definately read it.
