First published in serial form in Le Gaulois, Gaston Leroux's bitter-sweet tale of love and rejection was inspired by real events that took place at the Paris Opera, now the Opera Garnier, in the 19th century. It tells the tale of the opera singer, Christine, her love for her childhood sweetheart Raoul, and the obsessions of the 'phantom', a disfigured man called Erik who lives beneath the Opera, with Christine.

Gaston Leroux was born in Paris in 1868. Educated in Normandy and then Paris, he began work as a court reporter and theatre critic. He started writing fiction around 1907 and also formed a film company via which he published novels that were also turned into films. The Phantom of the Opera is by far his most famous work and had been adapted for film and theatre, most notably as the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney as the Phantom and as the 1986 award-winning musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
