“Damn you,” he cursed again but this time it was half sob. “Why?” He sat there with his head hanging down low. “Do you hunger so to see me brought down that you must stand there to savor my wretchedness? I implore you, have some pity.”

She was the Beauty that stood opposite his ugliness, and he was the Beast. Except they were not living a fairy tale. A kiss would not change any of it.”

“You confound me. Truly. You say that I kept you at a distance, and then you tremble at even the memory of a kiss from me. I am at a loss to know which one of those two things troubles you more.”

“You might think that a monster would be heartless and unfeeling. But alas, we are all creatures of emotion. Even I.”

The Grand Foyer of the Opera Garnier, Paris, France

The grand foyer is 154 metres long, 13 metres wide and 18 metres high.

In order to complete its decoration, the Opera’s architect, Charles Garnier collaborated with the painter Paul Baudry(1828-1886) who at the time was in Rome painting replicas of the Sistine Chapel. In its tones of old gold, this vast space was created at the most prestigious level of the theatre close to the first-category boxes. It was intended to be a place to rest, stroll, and mingle with high society.

The Paris Opera House is haunted. At least the superstitious performers there will tell you that it is. What else can account for all the strange and mysterious happenings that occur on a regular basis? Some believe that hidden within the walls and lurking in the deep abyss of the lowermost cellars far below the Opera House is some dark and ghostly presence. The Haunting of the Opera takes the reader from the tumultuous beginning and then beyond the wrenching, emotional ending of the original story.

Christine: Is the phantom of the opera real? For a beautiful young singer, that question becomes a journey into a secret world of dark seduction and forbidden desire. What spell does the mysterious phantom hold over her that he haunts even her dreams? Drawn irresistibly to the voice of an anonymous teacher, she will be pulled deeper into the depths of the Opera House, into a world of passionate love, intrigue, vengeance and betrayal.

Erik: Dark. Brooding. Mysterious. Because of his curse, he has known only the darker side of existence. He dwells in the shadows in his secret lair beneath the Opera House. is he man or phantom? Murderer or brilliant composer? When he finds himself in love with a woman he knows he can never possess, his passion for Christine will bring him to the brink of a precipice that could destroy him.
