Mckenna Dans Period 5 the Phantom of the Opera Gaston Leroux's

McKenna Dans Period 5 The Phantom of the Opera Gaston Leroux’s richly detailed novel and later adapted into a wildly popular stage show The Phantom of the Opera has dazzled audiences through the ages. The tone, mood, and theme of the play demonstrate the twisted mind of the Opera Ghost and his ever lasting love for the darling soprano Christine Daae. The play begins with an auction for recently discovered items at the now defunct Paris Opera House which closed under mysterious and deadly corollaries. The novel then follows the auction scene with the telling of events that ultimately led to the destruction of the opera house. Christine Daae, in opinion of the hostile Opera Ghost, holds a far superior voice to the presently occupied soprano Carlotta. The hideously distorted Opera Ghost’s hostility rises when a charming childhood friend of Christine, Raoul enraptures Christine’s heart. The Opera Ghost retaliates against the owners of the opera house by murdering Joseph Buquet, a stage hand, and collapsing a magnificent chandelier upon a full house. The Opera Ghost’s defense for slaying the theater and Buquet attributes to the all consuming love he retains for the unreciprocated Christine. The mood and tone for The Phantom of the Opera denotes a harried and worrisome atmosphere due to the volatile Opera Ghost. The theme of the play stresses the mania that surrounds a person who is so disfigured that he must be shied away from public sight. Though the Opera Ghost never truly gets what he wants, the passion between him and Christine has enchanted audiences throughout the decades. .
