No but Don Juan Triumphant is such an insanely fucked up work to force both your crush/student and her COWORKERS to perform in when you actually look at the lyrics of that opera and what it’s about. It’s about a girl who steals sweets from a man so he pretends to be a different person and seduces her. And, like every other Phantom opera, it’s a metaphor for what the show is about, especially when you know the Phantom himself is the one writing it.

In his lyrics, he idolizes and infantilizes her while he also condemns and mocks her. She “stole” her lessons from him, even though he knows deep down how fucked the situation is, but he feels entitled as a man. He delves into toxic masculinity instead of compassion. He sexualizes Aminta, he says she’s a thief, but at the same time, he says there’s “no thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy, and no dreams within her heart but dreams of love.” Because christine can’t not be perfect, or his image is shattered, even after everything. She has no agency. She’s an innocent girl.

Subconsciously, he knows what he’s doing is wrong. He knows by how he writes it in the plot, however bitter he is, however he mocks her. He knows that he lied to her by pretending to be the Angel of Music, just as Don Juan lied by pretending to be Passarino. And he is claiming her publicly when he has her and her COWORKERS whom he’s also been terrorizing perform this work praising him, living out his fantasies, being conquered by him. He even specifically singles out Meg for Don Juan to have seduced, leaving Christine no one, not even one friend.

And Raoul has no place in the story because Erik cannot consider him as an actual person Christine might have feelings for. Raoul is the apple that she holds in her hands that he plucks so easily and shoves wine (his voice) into her hands.
