The Phantom of the Opera. Jennifer Bassett

      The Phantom of the Opera

      THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

      Do you believe in ghosts? Of course not. We like to talk about ghosts, and to tell stories about them, but we don’t really believe in them … do we?

      In the Paris Opera House in 1880, strange things are happening. One of the dancers sees a shadow in a dark passage. It comes through a wall in front of her, and its face has no eyes. One of the stage workers sees a man in a black evening coat, but he has the head of a dead man, with a yellow face and no nose. People hear a voice in another room, but the room is empty.

      It is the Phantom of the Opera …

      For Richard
