The Phantom of the Opera tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius who haunts the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of the young soprano Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. One of the most well-known and well-loved gothic horror stories, Leroux's suspenseful tale of unrequited love, passion and tragedy is both dark and moving in its portrayal of Erik, the anti-hero in his yearning for Christine. The novel has been adapted into several formats, most notably a 1925 silent film directed by Rupert Julien and a 1986 musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the most successful theatrical show of all time.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gaston Leroux was a french novelist, best known for his works (The Phantom of the Opera), which later became famous in various film and stage renditions. After leaving school, Leroux worked as a clerk in a law office and began writing essays and short stories. In the early 1900s he began writing novels, his first success being (The Mystery of the Yellow Room), starring the amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille. A number of sequels followed, none quite so successful. In 1910 "The Phantom of the Opera" received only moderate sales and somewhat poor reviews, although Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera (1986) brought Leroux's novel renewed fame.
