    Argument

    Have you ever wondered who the other tragic Romeo was who lost his Juliet but didn't die? Are you
    curious about the man who portrays the Corpse Bride? Then I have the perfect title for you, and that is
    "Phantom of the Opera" written by Gaston Leroux. You will be speechless upon taking your first step
    into this universe. From the breathtaking atmosphere in which you would want to live forever to the
    heavenly songs that will be stuck in your head for weeks.

    Even if you read the book or watch one of the movies that is made, you will have the message engraved
    in your mind and some tears will be shed until you realize that you are crying. A good word to describe
    this astounding world is the roller-coaster since you will feel so many emotions some of them
    indescribable, you will meet numerous characters, many songs, and many more fabulous scenes that
    will have a special place in your heart.

    I always had a special fascination for the baroque, gothic, and mysterious style and when it comes to
    books, the ones that put you in a disturbing atmosphere may be my most cherished. Ever since my first
    encounter with Leroux's work a few months ago, it has always been on my mind. The reason why this
    book is a masterpiece is that you can relate to almost every character, and you can even share their
    traits and habits.

    The desire to be loved and appreciated for your inner and outer beauty, to the savior complex of aiding
    someone simply because you love them. The cruel love that reunites us and reveals its many faces is
    what makes the reader fall in love even harder. The clandestine meetings, the haunted past, the
    switchover of protagonists, the uncertainty caused by one elegant overflow of optical illusions, and the
    Victorian conventions all intended to spook the hell out of a reader who's totally in awe of the way a
    classic story can be so expertly conveyed.

    Reality or myth?

    Has there ever been a moment when a soprano disappeared during a live performance? Was the Paris
    Opera House ever destroyed due to fire? Did the Phantom truly exist or was it just a myth?

    In his work, Leroux says in his book that the specter existed, even though many believed for a long time
    that it was a source of inspiration for the artists, the superstition of the managers, or the absurd
    creation of the swayed brains of the young ladies of the ballet. Although he was physically present, he
    took on the appearance of a real ghost or a spectral shade. It's not surprising that the history of the
    luxurious Palais Garnier in Paris includes an opera ghost. The construction of the large opera house
    started in 1861 and took almost 15 years to finish. Problems with groundwater in the cavernous
    basement and the creation of a huge cistern to deal with the persistent moisture gave rise to the legend
    that the opera house was built over an underground lake. The building holds thousands of rooms to
    accommodate singers, dancers, musicians, costumes, sets, etc., and it's no surprise that many believe
    someone could have created a secret lair for themselves, deep underground, and lived there for years
    without being discovered.

    The Palais Garnier is the opera house that is most widely known in the world. In Andrew Lloyd Webber's
    blockbuster musical 'The Phantom of the Opera', the iconic Grand Staircase is beautifully recreated. The
    Phantom interrupts the masked ball being held at the opera house by ordering the managers to stage an
    opera he has composed, disrupting the festivities.

    Nearly two years after the fire that destroyed the old opera house, the Salle le Peletier, the Palais
    Garnier opened in 1875. In 1989, the opera company relocated to its new home, the Opera Bastille,
    after occupying Palais Garnier for more than 100 years.

    A story of love, adventure, beauty, sacrifice, and tragedy is what The Phantom of the Opera is all about.
    Yes, it's no surprise that the magnificent story can be told in any form of art and still be enjoyed.
    However, many people have come to think that this story was real, and, on the other hand, many
    people believe that Gastón Leroux wrote the novel based on an urban legend and that the Phantom of
    the Opera never existed. What is the real answer? It's unclear to everyone. However, there are some
    facts that can help us gain a better understanding of everything.

    However, we can find a lot of information about the phantom in Renata de Waele’s relate,
    published in 1993, in the Journal Illustre of Café de la Paix. Renata de Waele worked in Public
    Relations at the Opera Garnier for a long time. She explains much about his childhood and what
    he did until he grew up and built the Opera.

    The novel describes him as a “corpse-like” being with no nose, sunken eyes, yellow skin, and
    only some strands of ink-black hair. Christine has described his cold hands, and he is sometimes
    referred to as a "walking skeleton".

    He was abandoned by his parents at the age of eight and left homeless. He was later taken in by
    the circus. Visitors used to be attracted to Erik, who was exhibited as a "phenomenon".After
    spending seven years in the circus, he managed to escape and fled to Persia, which is now Iran.
    There, he became an entertainer for the Shah. Later on, he worked as a specialist assistant to an
    architect who designed harems, which gave him a profound knowledge of architecture. After
    gaining more experience in structural design and building in Persia, he returned to France with
    renewed confidence.
