具体描述
"The Phantom of the Opera" is the most famous work of French author Gaston Leroux. Far darker than the stories familiar to audiences of today from the phenomenally successful Broadway musical and the early Lon Chaney, Jr. film, Leroux's "Fantom" is a genuine murderer, and the story, a true Gothic murder/horror tale. Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, terrorizes the Opera Garnier (or Paris Opera House) by a successful multi-year blackmail plot. When new owners take over the Opera, Erik's reign of terror is abruptly curtailed. With this threat to his formerly comfortable living, and his budding, if bizarre relationship with the lovely soprano Christine Dae, coming to a halt, Erik takes drastic and murderous action. More complex, and far darker than the Broadway musical and film, some have criticized Leroux's novel for its deliberate Nineteenth century pace, and its talkiness. Others have found it fascinating and absorbing reading, with depths not to be found in the later, extraordinarily popular adaptations.

评分 评分关于剧院建筑构造的一切真假难辨，只想亲自去巴黎剧院一探究竟。8年前开始迷上音乐剧《歌剧魅影》，直到现在才读了原著，读的过程中会自然想象音乐剧的情景。当然，也有很多东西是音乐剧布景无法展现的，很多憎恶、恐惧感和悬念也是音乐剧不曾着重渲染的。音乐剧的魅力...
