Summary

The lights dim at the Paris Opera House. The exquisite Christine Daae enraptures the audience with her mellifluous voice. Immediately, Raoul de Chagny falls deeply in love. But the legend of the disfigured opera ghost haunts the performance, and as Raoul begins his pursuit of Christine, he is pulled into the depths of the opera house, and into the depths of human emotions. Soon Raoul discovers that the ghost is real and that he wields a terrifying power over Christine; a power as unimaginable as the ghost's masked face. As Raoul and the ghost vie for Christine's love, a journey begins into the dark recesses of the human heart, where desire, vulnerability, fear, and violence unravel in a tragic confrontation.

Good book, glitches in the recording

The narrator was very good & made the listening of this story easy. Unfortunately there are several places where one to a few words are repeated - this is a production problem & in no way the fault of the narrator (or author). It is annoying but doesn't spoil the narrative so much that it ruins the enjoyment of listening.

The Phantom of the Opera

Anyone who loves The Phantom will enjoy this more detailed story. It is very interesting to have the detailed account of the Opera and the characters as it will remind you of the stage or screen version and that is always a thrill! Fascinating.

Laborious

I listened to all of it simply b3cause I was going to see the musical.
I found the narrator excellent, and the content of the book slow, excessively detailed, and dragged on far too long.
