The phantom of the opera

Spøkelset i operaen gjør artistene nervøse. Da Christine forsvinner blir de virkelig redde. Operafantomet slår til i et stadig økende mønster av frykt og vold, men alltid med den unge sangerinnen i sentrum av sine makabre ønsker.

«The Opera Ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants, or the concierge. No, he existed in flesh and blood, though he assumed all the outward characteristics of a real phantom, that is to say, of a shade.»
