Phantom of the Opera, The

Based on the hit musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the tale tells the story of a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera, waging a reign of terror over its occupants.

When he falls fatally in love with the lovely Christine, the Phantom devotes himself to creating a new star for the Opera-exerting a strange sense of control over the young soprano as he nurtures her extraordinary talents.
