    About this audiobook

    An old theatre under new management; a diva who thinks she can sing; a young ingenue who really can; a masked man who wreaks havoc if he doesn't get his own way. Secrets, intrigues, falling chandeliers! The Phantom of the Opera is here! (Summary by Karen Savage)

    Gaston Leroux

    Gaston Leroux (1868 - 1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction. A former lawyer, he gained fame for interviewing celebrities. Leroux travelled all over the world, often in disguise, for his stories, and soon became a celebrity himself. In 1907, he decided to become a full-time novelist. Phantom of the Opera is his most famous work.

      OPERA’S VALUE AS A GUIDE TO negotiating the old vale of tears continues to be hotly debated — well, here, anyway; to be fair, it’s got to be a better bet than mime. On the plus side, you can expect loads of hot sex and a richly varied emotional life.
