Deformed since birth, a bitter man known only as the Phantom lives in the sewers underneath the Paris
Opera House. He falls in love with the obscure chorus singer Christine, and privately tutors her while terrorizing the rest
of the opera house and demanding Christine be given lead roles. Things get worse when Christine meets back up with her childhood
acquaintence Raoul and the two fall in love. The Phantom decides to kidnap her and imprison her with him in his lair. Raoul
is now the only one who can stop him.

is set.
The chandelier weighed 2.2 tons, cost $1.3 million, and was provided by Swarovski. It had a stunt double
for riskier scenes. There was also a third chandelier made, that was equipped with electricity and lighting for the opening
scene.
The Phantom speaks only eight of his lines and sings the rest.
