Since starting ballet classes at the Paris Opera, Meg has explored every nook and cranny of the majestic, mysterious building, places where she is allowed to go ...and places where she isn't! In one of these forbidden passages, she meets the Phantom of the Opera, a mysterious figure who is sobbing his heart out. He is in love with Christine, an opera singer--but she is about to marry her fiance, Raoul! One evening, Christine mysteriously disappears. Meg is hot on the trail. Revisiting the famous novel by Gaston Leroux, this faithful adaptation retells the story for a young audience in beautiful illustrations, and includes a 30-minute CD on which the story is read aloud, accompanied by original music.
