Most of us probably remember reading about The Phantom of the Opera when we were in secondary school and also watching the movie adaptation in cinemas when it was screened here. It has been reproduced many times in various stage and films adaptations but perhaps the most iconic one would be Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1986 musical.

In case you forgot, the Phantom of the Opera, an eponymous French novel by Gaston Leroux, involves a love triangle between the Phantom, Christine Daaé and Raoul, and the musical is based on this 1909 novel. The plot revolves around the Phantom, a mysterious, disfigured musical genius lurking in the depths of the Paris Opera House who becomes obsessed with Christine Daaé, a stunning and talented soprano in the opera house.
