It was 1882 when Antoinette Giry, Maitresse du Corps de Ballet at the Paris Opera House, took her small daughter to the funfair at Neuilly. And there, in a cage, she saw a filthy manacled creature whose tormented eyes shone from a grotesquely deformed face. It was Antoinette Giry who saved him, freed him, cured his wounds and finally let him find a dwelling place in the labyrinthine depths of the Opera House. The creature – Erik – whose hideous face hid a brilliant brain of near-genius, was to become the Phantom of the Opera – magician, artists, musician, and lover. When he tried to lure the object of his adoration to his underground domain – it was to end in tragedy.
