[00:06.48]The Phantom1 of the Opera
[00:09.64]The Paris Opera House was a huge building with seventeen floors
[00:15.91]of which seven were below the ground.
[00:20.17]Underneath the building there was a strange,dark lake.
[00:25.31]In the middle of this lake was an island and on that island
[00:31.37]one hundred years ago
[00:34.53]When he was born he was so ugly that his own mother made him wear a mask
[00:40.70]and forced him to leave home while still a child.
[00:45.35]Years later he made a secret home for himself inside the Paris Opera House
[00:52.19]What a man he was!Strong enough to kill with his hands
[00:57.94]and yet he loved music and sang with a wonderful voice.
[01:02.80]He used this voice to gain power over Christine
[01:07.66]a beautiful young singer at the Opera.
[01:12.41]He often sang to herlate at night from behind a secret wall in her room.
[01:18.97]She thought at first that he must be an angel.
[01:23.33]The Phantom taught her how to sing
[01:27.28]and forced the Opera's two managers to give her better roles in their shows.
[01:33.05]At first the managers were certain that he did not exist.
[01:38.80]They said he was a joke.
[01:42.16]Then one night when the Opera was crowded with people
[01:47.73]the huge glass chandelier fell from the roof,injuring a woman.
[01:54.39]After that,it was not surprising that the managers obeyed the Phantom's wishes
[02:01.55]and gave Christine the main role.
[02:05.62]But the Phantom wanted Christine for himself.
[02:09.88]In the endhe kidnapped her from the stage,in front of the whole audience.
[02:16.54]He took her down to his secret home on the lake.
[02:20.59]Only one man was brave enough to follow.
[02:24.56]He was Raoul a young man who loved Christine.
[02:29.21]But the Phantom captured2 him and kept him in a prison
[02:33.65]which was slowly filling with water.
[02:38.30]In the Phantom's house, Christine pulled off his mask.
[02:43.55]She finally saw the real man,and his horrible face,with no nose and yellow eyes.
[02:51.81]At first she was shocked at his appearance but then she felt very sorry for him.
[02:58.86]She understood how lonely his life had been.
[03:03.09]She gently kissed his face.
[03:06.33]No woman had ever touched the Phantom before.
[03:11.01]Christine's kiss made him cry with joy.
[03:15.66]He released3 Raoul and told him to take Christine away to safety.
[03:21.72]By now, a group of other people had reached the Phantom's house
[03:27.18]and burst in ready to kill him.
[03:31.54]But at that moment the Phantom disappeared magically and was never seen again.
