A masked figure haunts the cellars of the Paris Opera, lowering chandeliers, leaving threatening letters in box five, and sending love poems to a young Swedish soprano named Christine Daaé. Gaston Leroux published this gothic romance in serial across 1909 and 1910, framing it as a journalist's investigation into rumours that had circulated through the Palais Garnier since its opening.
