When Carlotta storms out on a production mid-rehearsal, Christine gets the call and becomes an overnight sensation.
We learn that Christine is still having a hard time coping with the death of her father, a renowned violinist who promised her, “When I am in heaven I will send the angel of music to you.” Christine assumes that the Phantom is that enchanted angel, an elusive tutor who has been using dreamlike encounters to prepare her for stardom. Only ballet instructor Madame Giry knows the secrets behind the Phantom, and shares them sparingly. Cast off as a freak at an early age, this masked mad genius has created a subterranean home beneath the theater and taken an obsessive interest in the lovely, golden-throated orphan Christine. But another, more shadowy figure dictates policy and procedure at the opera house with an even tighter fist: The Phantom. The men, feeling their way in this new venture, find themselves at the mercy of reigning diva Carlotta, a narcissistic, temperamental Italian soprano used to getting her way.
