The Phantom picks her up and places her on a bed. When they arrive, the Phantom shows Christine a mannequin resembling herself in a wedding dress, and she faints. She is essentially kidnapped by the Phantom and taken to his underground lair. Now here is where Christine's ordeal begins.

After being visited by her childhood friend, Raoul, she is then visited by the jealous/possessive Phantom. Christine is then thrust into the lead role by the Opéra's ballet mistress after the owners are told she's been 'well taught'.Īfter her triumphant performance, she admits to her friend, Meg Giry, that she has been tutored by her 'Angel of Music', a figure that her sick father often said would help Christine after his death. After a rehearsal incident involving the 'Phantom of the Opera', the resident diva quits the show and storms off stage. When we first meet Christine, she is a young chorus girl at the Paris Opera House. Now while many call it the greatest love story in musical theatre history when we look at the piece through the eyes of Christine Daae, it's not much of a love story at all.and there's a sequel. In the past, we've looked at shows such as Oklahoma!, Grease, Beauty & the Beast and Carousel. Today, we dip into another fan favorite, The Phantom of the Opera.

When looking at some of our favorite shows through the eyes of different characters, perspectives can change, plots can shift and what might be comedy could become far darker.
