Synopsis: Paris, 1870s. Mysterious incidents, attributed to the "Phantom" (the Phantom of the Opera), continue to plague the Opera Garnier. Christine, who becomes the understudy for the prima donna due to an accident during rehearsals, receives acclaim on her debut stage performance and reunites with her childhood friend Raoul. However, her joy is short-lived as she is abducted by the Phantom, a mysterious masked figure, and taken deep into the opera house's underground. Christine, believing the Phantom to be the "Angel of Music" her deceased father had given her, has secretly admired him. But in his underground lair, she discovers the Phantom's true identity hidden beneath his mask... "The Phantom of the Opera," which composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, the genius behind hit musicals like "Cats" and "Evita," considers his masterpiece. Released in 18 countries and 100 cities, it has been seen by 80 million people, and in Japan, the Shiki Theatre Company's national tour has attracted over 4 million viewers. This immortal masterpiece, which shines brilliantly in musical history, has been fully adapted into a film with Lloyd Webber himself composing the music, writing the screenplay, and producing.
