News about Gaston Leroux

Gaston Leroux and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, which debuted in 1986, has a nod to the 1909 novel by Palais Garnier's opera house. In both the musical and the book, the opulent Palais Garnier Opera House is said to be haunted by a mystery figure referred to as the Phantom of the Opera. The Palais Garnier experience includes a live performance, dinner in an ornate rehearsal room backstage, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the elaborate 19th-century building, which included the inspiration for the phantom's lair in the novel and musical.
