The musical tells the story of a masked musical genius who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, controlling all above. He falls in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star. The score includes some of Lloyd Webber's best-known songs, including "Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Masquerade," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" and the title song.
