In 1880s Paris, the Palais Garnier Opera House is haunted by the Phantom, a disfigured musical genius named Erik. He mentors young soprano Christine Daaé, whom he loves obsessively. Christine’s childhood friend Raoul rekindles his affection for her, sparking Erik’s jealousy.

Erik demands Christine star in Faust and sabotages the opera when ignored, causing chaos. He abducts Christine to his lair, revealing his deformed face. Though horrified, she shows him compassion but Erik overhears Christine and Raoul plan to escape together, fueling his rage. During a performance, Erik abducts Christine again and threatens to destroy the opera house unless she marries him.
