The Phantom of the Opera revolves around Christine, a young singer. She is allured by a mysterious ghost who haunts the opera house of Paris. The story begins with strange accidents taking place in the opera house. When the snobbish diva named Carlotta puts her feet down to continue the opera, Christine substitutes her and becomes a star.

At the opening night, Christine comes across her childhood friend, Raoul. At last, she gets to meet the charming ghost when she's alone in her dressing room. This is the same ghost who had taught her to sing wonderfully. The ghost or phantom of the opera house takes Christine to his den, which is located in the hazy tomb, underneath the opera house. To the audience's surprise, the phantom confesses his love to Christine. However, she comes to know about his dreadful secret. As the story proceeds, the sets change from the misty underground tomb to the shaky roof of the opera house. The fight between Raoul and phantom for Christine's love is a sight to watch.
