In Heather Webb’s latest novel, she re-envisions Gaston Leroux’s story from 1910 about Christine Daaé, the soprano haunted by the Paris Opera’s “phantom.” This original dramatic work is now best known from its adaptation as a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webb, however, has new ideas about who Christine and her phantom were. You can read more about what I thought of this novel in my review of “The Phantom’s Apprentice,”

Very strange setting
Film version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber rock musical of the same name, and - unfortunately - it doesn't quite work.

Personally, I think that's because of the juxtaposition of the events being (re)told through the eyes of Judas Iscariot alongside the more modern setting, which is just *odd*: here, for example, the Roman empire seems to have access to jet fighters, tanks and rifles (amongst others ...)

I think if they had stuck to a more 'traditional' production design instead of trying to marry the story with a modern setting it would have worked better.

The Phantom Of The Opera
This film is one of the classics.
Phantom Of The Opera is a musical, the songs were composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a very knows British composer that has written a lot of other songs to other very famous musicals (ex: Cats and Evita).
The film takes place is Opera Popullaire and it starts when Christine (the main character), a ballerina, replaces Carlotta, the opera main star and becomes famous due to her signing classes with her mysterious teacher, The Phantom. In the meanwhile she founds her childhood old love and they fall in love again leaving The Phantom heart broken. It’s a romance triangle.
Its dramatic. Emotional. And very worth the watch.
