The supporting players do good work, not getting too campy – which can easily happen – and not stealing any scenes, but naturally letting their characters speak for themselves. In the group numbers (such as Masquerade) they move with excellent precision and in wonderful synchronicity. The ensemble all dance and sing well adding to the show and contributing a highly enjoyable performance. The cast of the production is large and they all do good work. Knowing that the Phantom won’t be able to resist his prodigy’s singing Raoul and the opera owners devise a plan to trap the Phantom once and for all.Įva Tavares as ‘Christine Daaé’ and Jordan Craig as ‘Raoul’ (Photo: Matthew Murphy) Using fear tactics and eventual murder of a stagehand, the Phantom forces the opera owners to perform his production with Christine (who is both compelled and terrified to perform) as the lead. Using his hypnotic power, and playing into her superstition about her dead father’s legacy, the Phantom seduces/rapes Christine before allowing her to return to the opera in the morning.

The Phantom whisks Christine away to his secret lair under the opera house, where he confesses not only his love for his pupil, but also that he has written an opera for her. Their reunion sparks romance between them and when Raoul goes to arrange a celebration for the ingénue’s fantastic debut, the Phantom appears from within the mirror in a jealous rage. It turns out the opera has a new benefactor, Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, who is an old friend of Christine’s family. When Carlotta the lead soprano refuses to go on, the ingénue Christine Daaé is put on in her stead and performs incredibly! An unknown, spectral teacher has secretly coached Christine, and she believes it is the Angel of Music sent to her by her late father. It is believed that a Phantom haunts the Paris Opera House, since numerous and dangerous ‘accidents’ keep occurring. The opera house has just transferred hands to new owners (Msr: Firmin and Andre).

The story line is classic Gothic/Horror – especially for the time it was written.
