Part 1 of Gaston Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera last chapter : “La fin des amours du fantôme” (“The end of the ghost’s love story”)

Adapted by me (more is to come, I intend to do the whole chapter, until “Erik is dead”)

Robert Heindel (October 1, 1938 – July 3, 2005) was commissioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber to paint the original cast of The Phantom of the Opera while the show was in previews in 1986. Depicted are Sarah Brightman (Christine), Michael Crawford (The Phantom), Steve Barton (Raoul) and Rosemary Ashe (Carlotta).

I encourage you to check out his website, there is more Phantom, as well as a lot of other theatre and dance paintings.

T_{he night the chandelier fell, a great talent passed out of this world, like a storm passes over land, all flame and regret. Our beautiful Opera Populaire never recovered– and, perhaps, never did we.}

potosuggestions:

one of my absolute favorite differences between the novel and the musical is how often erik is seen because in the musical it’s like

we don’t know what the opera ghost looks like is he here is he there WHO KNOWS

And in the books it’s

the opera ghost came to our dinner party and made everyone uncomfortable

I was re-reading this section for fanfiction research, and I just,,, Christine’s narrative voice is a genuine treasure.

“So it’s bad enough that he kidnapped me, Raoul, but the more important thing is that he’s tacky as FUCK.”

princes-jasmine:

favorite duos (of all time and kind): christine daaé & erik (the phantom), the phantom of the opera.
