The Phantom of the Opera is a Gothic romance by the French writer Gaston Leroux, published in the period from 1909 to 1910. Something inexplicable happens in the Paris Opera: the theatrical scenery gets broken, people hear strange sounds, things disappear. All that is the doing of a mysterious Ghost who does not let the theatre live peacefully. And there is only one way to fix the problem, which is through self-sacrifice and love.
