One evening last year I perceived in the waiting-room of my newspaper, Le Matin, a man dressed in black, his face heavy with the darkest despair, whose dry, dead eyes seemed to receive the images of things like unmoving mirrors.He was seated; and there rested on his knees a sandalwood box inlaid with polished steel. An office-boy told me that he had sat there motionless, silent, awaiting my coming, for three mortal hours.

"The Phantom of the Opera" is a novel by French author Gaston Leroux. It was published in 1911 and has since been adapted into many other forms. Despite this, it remains a remarkable piece of Gothic horror literature in and of itself, deeper and darker than any version that follows."The Phantom of the Opera" is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daae. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her. After a time at the opera house, she begins hearing a voice, who eventually teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Christines childhood friend Raoul comes to visit his parents, who are patrons of the opera, and he sees Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The voice, who is the deformed, murderous ghost of the opera house named Erik, however, grows violent in his terrible jealousy, until Christine suddenly disappears. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster.

Ni siquiera en unas historias tan racionalistas como las de Rouletabille eludió Leroux los aspectos misteriosos y fantasmales de la trama. Le faltaba un teatro y un fantasma para cerrar el círculo. El primero lo encontro en un edificio de Opera imposible; el segundo, en un tenebroso personaje, atormentado al mismo tiempo por la deformidad y la hermosura: la fealdad de su propio rostro y la pasion por la belleza, encarnada en la musica y en una joven cantante. Un romanticismo tardio posa sus huellas en esta obra, que con artificios de la novela gotica y de la policiaca introduce al lector en un espacio siempre fascinante: el de los misterios que habitan al otro lado del telon.
