The Phantom of the Opera is a love story set in the Paris Opera House. In the sewers under the theatre the disfigured musical genus known as the Phantom hides from the outside world, masking his childhood deformities. From his hiding place the Phantom can hear the shows at the Opera House, and he becomes entranced with the voice of Christine the chorus singer and offers to be her tutor. During their private lessons the Phantom falls in love with Christine, but totally unaware of the Phantom's feelings she begins a relationship with childhood friend Raoul.
The Phantom is enraged by Christine's love for Raoul and drags her away to his underground lair. Raoul tries to save her but can he defeat the Phantom?
