Phantom Of The Opera, The

The beloved musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe (based upon the novel Le Fantôme De L'Opéra by Gaston Leroux) sees a lush screen adaptation starring Emmy Rossum as Christine, the beautiful and gifted young woman who, by a tragic twist of fate, lands a spot as the lead part in a Paris Opera House production. Rumor has it that The Phantom Of The Opera (Butler) was behind Christine's turn of luck, but it isn't until she meets the disfigured composer that she learns that he is not just a legend. Despite his desire to compose an opera specifically for Christine, her love affair with the wealthy nobleman Raoul (Wilson) drives the phantom to terrifying jealousy. Soon, Christine is asked to help capture the mad genius once and for all...a move meant to silence "the music of the night." (Suzanne Hodges)
