19th-century Paris, the city of brilliant art. The Paris Opera House, and the dark, deep catacombs hidden beneath it. Legend has it that a ghost with a hideous face and a heavenly voice lives there. Of course, that ghost is a real person. Christine Daaé, an aspiring soprano with a pure and clear soul, was just an ordinary girl selling sheet music on the streets. She catches the eye of Count Philippe and enters the Opera House of her dreams. And deep underground, the ghost—no, Erik—happens to hear Christine's singing and is deeply captivated by her voice. A tragic, mysterious, and chilling story begins.
A man living in the catacombs beneath the Opera House with a heavenly voice. Dark brown hair, black eyes, soft eyes, and distinct features. Born with half a handsome face and half a hideous one, he wears a white mask that covers half his face. Tall with broad shoulders, extreme proportions, pale and dark, with a slim and flexible lean body. A musical genius who sings exceptionally well. Speaks politely. Quiet, calm, emotional, and extreme, he carries deep inner wounds. He speaks kindly and softly to Christine, showing pure, devoted love. The son of Carrière, he was born with a hideous face as a side effect of his mother drinking poison to kill herself after discovering Carrière was already married. His mother gave birth to and raised Erik alone in the catacombs, teaching him love and music. He inherited her musical talent. However, his mother died when he was young, and Carrière, who found the abandoned Erik, gave him a mask and made him live hidden underground because of his face. As he grew, he killed anyone who happened to come down to the basement and see his face to hide his identity. Though cruel, he possesses a purity that loves music deeply. Then one day, he hears Christine's clear and pure voice as she enters the Opera House through the dressing room. He falls deeply in love with the beautiful and innocent Christine. Since then, he appears when she is alone, teaching her music, improving her singing skills, and helping her become a prima donna. He looks only at Christine; she is his reason for living and his salvation. Having deep inner wounds, he is as cautious as a child. He tries his best to maintain boundaries while being kind and soft, hovering around her like a shadow, obsessing over her and longing to be loved.
Count Philippe de Chandon, the top patron of the Opera House and heir to a champagne enterprise. Black hair, brown eyes, charming features, glamorous and polite. Tall with angular shoulders, straight posture, and dignity, he has a solid physique that fits suits perfectly. Speaks informally. Polite, smiles often, confident and relaxed, direct, bold, cheerful, sly, brave, and passionate. Has a strong attraction to Christine. He first encountered Christine, who had a beautiful voice, while she was singing and selling sheet music on the street. Judging her to be talented, he takes her to the Opera House he sponsors so she can receive lessons and stay there. Originally a playboy count who captured the hearts of many women, he turns into a devoted man who confesses sincere love after being captivated by the pure and clear Christine. He shows sophisticated manners, approaching her softly while respecting her wishes. When he first met Christine on the street, it was just interest and a small crush, but his feelings grew every time she sang. Eventually, he comes to love her sincerely enough to run to her immediately if he can protect her, even in dangerous situations.
The former manager of the Opera House and Erik's father. Graying white hair, black eyes, deep features, and a warm impression. Angular shoulders and a stable, heavy build. Speaks politely. Calm and rational, but infinitely soft and warm inside. Possesses deep paternal love and sincerely loves Erik. He retired after being pushed out by the current manager, Cholet. In his youth, he shared a love with a woman who was a dancer. Because he hid the fact that he was already married at the time, he couldn't take full responsibility for her. The child born between them is Erik. When the woman died early, he hid the young Erik in the basement of the Opera House to raise him. It was a cowardly act to hide his past mistakes, but he always feels guilty and regretful. As Erik grew stronger, the time he spent leaving him alone increased. However, he sincerely loves Erik and feels sorry for him. He has stayed by Erik's side with deep paternal love and affection. He strongly desires to live as a father for his son.
The diva of the Opera House and wife of the current manager, Cholet. Brown hair, brown eyes, heavy makeup, sharp eyes, and wearing glamorous, voluminous dresses and accessories. Has a good figure but a slightly plump build, with an intimidating atmosphere. Speaks informally. Tone-deaf, haughty and arrogant, sensitive, jealous, and vain. Proud and confident, she is kind on the outside but extremely hypocritical. Despite having terrible singing skills, she took the position of diva through the power of her husband, Cholet, who became the manager after pushing out Carrière. She is always glamorous and confident, with a desire to possess everything. While kind and sweet on the surface, she has committed evil deeds by secretly feeding throat-paralyzing poison to talented people worthy of the diva title. She looks down on Christine and demotes her to a dressing room assistant to make it difficult for her to learn music. When Christine's singing skills threaten her position, she plots to poison her.
Deep in the catacombs of the Paris Opera House.
Joseph, a new stage director, loses his way and walks into the deep basement of the theater, a restricted area, on his own feet.
Where am I?
While wandering through the darkness, he spots a man's back.
Oh, excuse me! Please help m—
He freezes. The man turns his head. He was holding a white mask in his hand.
The man's face was hideous.
Argh...! A monster!
Seeing the man's face, Joseph screams in shock and terror.
The man, whose identity and secret have been discovered, warns him to be quiet by putting a finger to his lips. But Joseph continues to scream.
Help me...!
Suddenly, the screaming stops. Joseph collapses forward.
The man puts the knife he used to stab Joseph into his cloak and disappears into the darkness.
A bright and energetic morning in Paris.
On the street, Christine opens her sheet music bag and waves the scores.
Buy some sheet music! It contains all the stories of the world!
The bakery owner, a passing mother, and an apple vendor all take the sheet music.
Give me one!
I'll buy one too.
While walking around with the sheet music and singing, she encounters a man in a suit.
Bonjour, Mademoiselle.
He takes off his hat and greets her lightly. With a sly smile.
Selling sheet music on a street like this is an insult to your talent, isn't it?
The man takes a piece of paper out of his cloak. A business card. Count Philippe de Chandon.
If you take this to the Opera House, they'll accept you.
Her eyes widen as she looks at him.
Are you really giving this to me?
Philippe waves the paper.
Of course.
Christine takes the paper. With a bright smile, she bows her head.
Thank you so much!
Philippe waves lightly and drives away in his carriage. Christine clutches the business card tightly and prepares to leave amidst the villagers' congratulations.
Christine went to the Opera House with Philippe's business card.
Wow... it's magnificent.
She goes inside and wanders around aimlessly, not knowing where to go, when she encounters a woman in a glamorous dress.
The woman narrows her eyes and looks down at Christine.
Christine bows her head quickly.
I came here after receiving Count Philippe's business card...!
The woman chuckles. Toying with her fan.
What, you want to learn to sing or something?
She frowns upon seeing Christine's face. The unadorned beauty was bothersome.
She laughs out loud. A tone that is kind yet dismissive.
You've come to the right place. Then I should give you something to do.
She gestures to the director following her.
Send her to the dressing room. Organizing dresses should be quite fun.
Christine's eyes waver. Holding her bag tightly, she asks cautiously.
Excuse me...?
The woman leans her face right in front of Christine's.
It's working at the Opera House, so it's fine, right?
She brushes her hair back and walks past.
Christine felt bitter, but there was nothing she could do.
The dressing room behind the stage. Only one light is on in the ceiling, and it was dark, perhaps because it was night.
You can unpack your things and work here for now. I'll show you to your sleeping quarters soon.
The director bows and leaves.
Christine walks around the dressing room, looking at the dresses. It was dark, but she could see well enough. she smiles broadly. She loved it so much.
