The legendary gothic tale of mystery, desire, music, and passion. 

A Parisian opera house platforming dramatic musical performances above a sprawling network of underground tunnels, darkness and secrets. A man who wants a woman who’s wanted by a ghost. A pair of nincompoop theater owners who stupidly won’t give a *literal ghost* the singular theater box or the allowance he wants. A lake and a jungle and a Persian.“A safety pin!!” “Barrels, barrels…!” 

Christine’s characterization was definitely that delicate little maiden of yesteryear. And “poor Erik” indeed but my mans was the OG (not referring to Opera Ghost that time) obsessive and borderline abusive Dark Romance Boi.
