What happens to the Phantom of the Opera
AFTER the theatre lights come on and you go
back to reality? What pathway is open to a
self-taught genius, horrifically abused and
denied the entity of love, when he flees for his
life, catastropic events, many initiated by his own uncontrolled
and tyrannical actions, destroying the only home he has ever
known. Venturing into an unfamiliar world to invent a new
existence, Erik is constantly plagued with haunting recollections
of his past, greatly hindering his overwhelming need for a
reconciliation of the soul. Will his future be destined, once
again, to be that of a man alone, or will he finally find that one
person to believe --to make a difference--allowing his heart and
soul to heal?

Erik is only a young boy when he first
discovers his great passion for music. Just
before his third birthday, he listens to his
mother playing the piano, and with
excitement, he realizes his life will always be
filled with music. Sadly though, along with
that powerful and comforting emotion,
there is also sorrow. Erik's mother fears him because of his facial
deformity, and he is forever scarred by her rejection. His father
loves and protects him and tries to guide his young son's rapidly
growing genius mind and disturbed heart. Nevertheless, Erik's
soul begins to fill with loathing for the world that shuns him,
causing him to wage a fierce battle between murderous hatred
and compassionate love.

They are married now; and with their new roles, they struggle to
find their place in Raoul’s privileged world of the aristocracy.
Christine tries to fulfill her title as the new Vicomtesse and
ignore the disquieting emptiness in her heart since leaving the
Phantom, while her husband experiences the unforeseen trials of
marrying a common girl of no title and battles the growing
discord in his soul. Or perhaps they struggle, because they both
know without any proof given, that the Phantom of the Opera
did not die that night in his lair; that their star-crossed story is
not yet over. That he is somewhere out there, watching and
waiting...for his second chance with Christine.
