with you some information about the characters in The Phantom of the Opera. Whether you're

watching the Andrew LLoyd Weber stage show or the Joel Schumacher adaptation of the Andrew

Lloyd Weber stage show or the original book by Gaston LaRoux. The characters for the most

part remain the same. I will start with the first The Phantom of the Opera. The title

character Erik a tragic character disfigured when he was young and ends up living in the

catacombs beneath the Paris Opera house. In the story he falls in love with Christine

Daae and allow us to go into Christine Daae. Christine Daae is a chorus girl an ingenue

if you will. Her father a famous musician who passed away. She's trying to come up through

the ranks in the Paris Opera house and he takes her under his wing and helps develop

her voice. Through that he falls in love with her. Now he develops her, he helps develop

her voice through her mirror or through just a voice that comes to her. Then there's Raoul

her, the love interest of Christine which creates the triangle between the Phantom,

Christine and Raoul. Then you also have Andre one of the new managers of the Paris Opera

house. Madame Giry. She is the dance core mistress. You have Joseph Buquet who is the

master of the flies which means he works the fly system up there. Meg, Madame Giry's daughter.

Then you also have some of the lesser characters or some of the bigger characters like Carlotta,

I should say, who is the prima donna or the first lady of the stage of the main soprano

inside of it until the Phantom starts to take over. So those are a few of the characters

to get you familiar with who you're going to see inside of the Phantom of the Opera.

I encourage you to see the movie, see the stage show, read the book. The characters

are rich and pretty well developed. It will give you a little bit of a fright and a good

love story all wrapped up into one. It's good date situation. I'm Chris Rokosz.
