THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

I believe that life can lead us to certain things that, due to an event, we can hide a story that I describe here as a true drama of a film that has remained in the history of many that tells the story of Erik, a deformed man and genius who lives in the dungeons of the Paris Opera who falls in love with a beautiful and beautiful girl who sings at the Paris Opera called Christine Daaé , a soprano maiden who becomes the Phantom of the Opera's obsession that we can do anything here is ahead of a true romance that becomes the passion of a boy who, due to his childhood being a trauma in which he suffered such consequences that made him lose his beautiful image ten of his childhood until he became a young man who lived hidden for many years due to his amazing appearance that turned him into a being like a legend who transformed him in the theater of paris into a legend with his dynamic voice that preserved his fierce courage, hatred of revenge and love for his fellow men that he always heard singing from the back of the theater where he used to observe every night of melodies and operas by many young women who were a stage attraction that made him become a ghost in which he preserved his personality in living a life secretly indignant at a suffering that he always carried in his chest about a devotion that it made him like in the created stories of a handsome young man who perhaps forced a bastard he went through his childhood suffered among certain people of his time who enjoyed beating him in which he rebelled and managed to flee into the great theater in paris where he stayed for a long time until he became an adult in which he made himself live a deeper soul that rises from the fire of his passion in which he was attracted by the opera and by the resonant voice of beautiful and unforgettable young people who sang in the theater in which he fell in love with a beautiful and beautiful young woman called Christine Daaé who showed a gift and had in her magnitude to sing the soul of colors which made her and consecrated her as the best opera singer in which everything can have a meaning that maybe could have awakened the side In the shadows of the shadows lived a beautiful boy named Erik, a deformed and genius man who lives in the dungeons of the Paris Opera who, through a sweet and dazzling song, made him feel love and made him look for a great moment in which his pain deepened. about a rancorous desire to believe in his imagination that life could perhaps conceive him certain things that he would perhaps preserve for him by a gesture and feeling an expression of affection in which the soul is consequently a gift to make himself loved and that life perhaps can tell us that not even suffering can destroy anyone's feeling and that person cannot deserve us and that they can be restless and suffering from any absorptions of living life and simply a song coming from a teaching soul of a beautiful girl with a thin and sad look that a divine heart can have that in his voice made him fully believe in the teaching life of perhaps a being who suffered somewhere that simply conquered him in soul and made him dream of a salvation to believe and become release from some emptiness that awoke him from the darkness that offered him a conquest in the world of song and beauty of a young woman that unforgettable moment passed him over a tremendous nightmare in which he made him pursue and get to know him more closely to see his talent in which he made her love madly with body and soul that we can certainly believe in the benign force of love that we can be happy and that we have different places both in heaven and in hell and the young woman conceived her freedom with her soul and tone of voice that certainly softened a heart sick man who perhaps could have been a good genius who lived on a barrier of suffering that close by and inside the theater the fire made him convert into a deep love that fell in love with a young woman as they say in a French novel of gothic fiction that was written by Gaston Leroux . It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909 to 8 January 1910 and in volume form in April 1910 by Pierre Lafitte . The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the 19th century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a famous musician's skeleton.

Perhaps today we can say with great conviction that life can contain us and that maybe great trials have passed that today we see in modernity youth expressing themselves about love that is captivating as always, all the same that simply shows us attractiveness about life. dependence on any young person that maybe life makes him love and that desire is certainly a very profound thing that we only assimilate when we feel love no matter how much we venture, and it is said that things are not limited when in everything we see and see from deep knowledge and as much as it comes from within our souls because everything is absorbed even if it has indifferent parts and emotions and that certainly love is something substantial the life that we deeply attach ourselves to and try to conquer and here with beautiful words I want to say that it certainly should about this novel a real reason for a deeper and more harmonious explanation that in everything genius arises and everything can have a soul because life would be extraordinary and perhaps here in this story we are giving it with the love that perhaps could have come from a deep recognition human who in everything and through everything turned around and made true salvation sprout from the shadows and that true love exists when we can admit it as something like god and I want to thank all the creators of this extraordinary French romance film of gothic fiction that was written by Gaston Leroux . It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909 to 8 January 1910 and in volume form in April 1910 by Pierre Lafitte . The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the 19th century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a famous musician's skeleton.

The story:

The Phantom of the Opera is a French Gothic fiction novel written by Gaston Leroux . It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909 to 8 January 1910 and in volume form in April 1910 by Pierre Lafitte . The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the 19th century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a famous musician's skeleton.

It is most commonly used in a folk festival production of Der Freischütz from 1841. Today it is overshadowed by the success of its various stage and film adaptations, reaching its peak when it was adapted into musical theater by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe . The show broke the record for running on Broadway (surpassing Cats ), and remains on stage to this day since opening in 1986. It is the most watched musical ever, by over 100 million people, and also the most successful entertainment production that ever existed, earning 5 billion dollars (5 billion in the long scale, used in Portugal).

Le Fantôme de l'Opéra has been translated countless times into Brazilian Portuguese, with the most widespread versions being published by Ediouro and Ática. The preference for these versions is due to the greater fidelity to the story originally created by Gaston Leroux . In Portugal, "O Fantasma da Ópera" was translated and published by Bico de Pena.

The plot:

The opera singer, Christine Daaé , triumphs at the gala evening of the retirement of the former managers of the Paris Opera. Her old childhood friend, Raoul, hears her singing and remembers her love for Christine. At this time, there are rumors that the Opera is haunted by a ghost and this is known to the managers through letters and evil deeds. Sometime after the gala, the Paris Opera performed Faust with the prima donna Carlotta playing the lead, against the Phantom's wishes. During the performance, Carlotta loses her voice and the large chandelier falls on the audience.

Christine is kidnapped by the ghost and taken to his abode beneath the Opera House where he identifies himself as Erik. He intends to keep her for a few days, hoping she will come to love him. But she makes Erik change his plans when she unmasks him, to their horror, seeing his noseless, lipless, sunken-eyed face that resembles a centuries-dried skull, covered in yellowed dead flesh. Fearing that she will leave him, Erik decides to keep her with him forever, but when Christine asks for release after two weeks, he agrees on the condition that she wears his ring and is faithful to him.

On the roof of the opera house, Christine tells Raoul that Erik has kidnapped her. Raoul promises to take Christine where Erik can never find her. Raoul tells Christine that they must elope the next day, to which Christine agrees. She, however, takes pity on Erik and decides not to leave, until she sings him a song one last time; which Raoul does not agree with. They are not aware of Erik listening to their conversation and filled with jealousy and anger.

The following night, Erik kidnaps Christine during a production of Faust and tries to force her to marry him. Erik claims that if she refuses, he will use explosives (which he has planted in the cellars) to destroy the entire opera house. Christine refuses, until she realizes that Erik has learned of Raoul's attempt to rescue her and has him imprisoned in a hot torture chamber (along with the Persian, an old acquaintance of Erik's, who was helping Raoul). To save them and the people above at the Opera, Christine agrees to marry Erik. Erik initially tries to drown Raoul and the Persian, using the water that would have been used to douse the explosives. But Christine asks and offers to be his "living bride", promising him not to kill herself after becoming his bride, as she had been thinking of doing since the beginning of the novel. Erik finally frees Raoul and the Persian from his torture chamber. When Erik is alone with Christine, she lifts her mask to kiss him on the forehead. Erik reveals that he has never received a kiss (not even from his own mother), nor has he been allowed to give one, and is overcome with emotion. He and Christine cry together and their tears "mingle". Erik later expresses that he has never felt so close to another human being.

Erik allows the Persian and Raoul to take Christine, not before making her promise that she will visit him on her dying day and return the gold ring he gave her. He also makes the Persian promise that later he will go to the newspaper to report his death, because he will soon die "of love". In fact, some time later, Christine returns to Erik's lair, to bury him somewhere he will never be found (per Erik's request) with the golden ring. Afterwards, a local newspaper receives a simple note: "Erik is dead".
