故事发生在19世纪的巴黎,讲述了发生在巴黎歌剧院的一个神秘而凄美的爱情悲剧.克里斯廷达埃本是剧团的一名小演员,在一个偶然的机会中,她顶替剧团生病了的女演员卡洛塔上台演唱.她那天使般美妙的歌声受到了观众的热烈欢迎,她立即成为巴黎剧坛的新宠儿.
克里斯廷达埃之所以能够有出色的表演,是因为有位神秘的老师暗中教授达埃 .这位被达埃称作音乐天使的老师其实就是巴黎歌剧院的幽灵.歌剧院幽灵的真名叫埃里克,是个音乐家建筑师和魔术师于一身的奇才.然而不幸的是,他的面孔被毁了容,外表很丑陋,因此常常使人受到惊吓并遭到人们的厌恶,所以他不得不戴上面具,住在巴黎歌剧院的地下室中,成为传说中的幽灵.
埃里克是个奇才为什么会住在地下室里呢?原因就是太多的人以貌取人,很多人都怕他,很多人会笑他,不论他有多少才艺,有多少本领,如果他长得不好看就不会有人喜欢他,他是一个天才,但因为相貌从没有人说他棒,所有人都很怕他,甚至从小到大都没有人亲过他,连他的妈妈都没有过.当达埃付出真心的亲了一口他时,他被感动了他放了达埃,他的善良的内心又表现了出来,他把达埃放了.
在现在这个社会,还有人以貌取人,有时在路上逛街,有的人看见了一个长得很难看的人就在那里哈哈哈的嘲笑,心灵美才是真的美,一个人如果内心不善良他长得再漂亮也没有用!

In the novel ,there is a character who is very fascinating—Erik.
People in the Opera House are afraid of him because they think he is a ghost.He kills Joseph because he doesn’t like people taking about him.His outward appearance is horrifying.He has the face of a dead man,no nose,just two black holes in his yellow face.His eyes are black holes sometimes and have a terrible red light.He also sends a letter to the two new directors of the Opera House to ask them never sell tickets for Box 5 and pay him 20,000 francs a month.But the directors don’t follow the words of the ghost.So Erik sends a second letter to blame the directors and ask them to let Christine sing Faust again instead of La Carlotta.At that night,he makes the chandelier goes down and La Carlotta can’t sing anymore.He is so dangerous that most people afraid him and regard him as a ghost.
He is good at singing opera.He is an angle of music.Christine becomes famous because of the guide of him.He takes her through many secret doors and passages,down,down under the Opera House.There is a big lake with black and cold waters.He takes her across the lake in a boat to his house.He just wants Christine to love him and marry him.Christine say “For this minute,I am your wife” and put her arms around Erik’s neck and kiss him slowly and lovingly on his ugly mouth.Then Erik allows Christine run out with her lover Paoul because he just has the feeling of being loved at the first time.He just wants to be loved at all.
Finally,Erik dies and Christine marries Paoul.He dies with satisfaction.
I like this character because of his sad experience,his talent and his tolerance to Christine.He is an angle!He is an angle who just falls down from the Heaven instead of a ghost!
