When Carlotta, the lead soprano, takes ill and Christine Daaé's understudy performance is a rousing success, Vicomte Raoul de Chagny falls in love with Christine. Meanwhile, her tutor, "the Angel of Music," whom she believes has been sent by her deceased father, is also coveting Christine's affections. But the Angel is no phantom as everyone believes, and his fears of Christine's rejection due to his masked disfigurement prompts him to abduct her and extract a promise of marriage born of wild jealousy. This latest addition to the Word Cloud Classic series will have you burning the candles low to reach the dark, gothic ending.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Gaston Leroux</b> was a French journalist and playwright.
