Gaston Leroux the Phantom of the Opera uses many Opera songs the Phantom sings to Christine and to the opera audience. The example of Opera Songs sungs by the Phantom: The Resurrection of Lazarus. Christine, The Phantom-Duet in Othello chapter 12 Apollo's Lyre. The story's name is The Phantom of the Opera because the story takes place in the opera house of Paris.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera-is classified as Operetta which means light opera, Not viewed as a musical because there is no speaking dialog of the main characters.

It is believed to be successful because of the intriguing story line, the fantastic music, and just the overall gothic romance and the usual love triangle. The choreography is also a loved feature.

reason #1: I'm disfigured and many people die when they see my face

reason#2: I have never experienced love

reason#3: My parents hated me and that's why I lived in the opera cellars

reason #4: Why not like me*?!??!

reason #5: people just like me because they feel sorry for me. If you read the last chapter before the epilogue in "The Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston LeRoux you'll feel sorry for me too.

*I'm a murderer

The story was originally a novel by a Frenchman, Gaston Leroux, who published "Le Fantome de l'Opera" in 1911. In English we'd say "The Opera Ghost" or "The Ghost of the Opera", but while the notes from the Phantom in the translation are signed "O.G.", he's still largely referred to as "the Phantom", and the rather more romantic/gothic "The Phantom of the Opera" was used as the title when the book was first translated into English. "The Ghost of the Opera" (let alone "The Opera Ghost") just doesn't have the same ring to it, and I suppose English readers who had heard of "Le Fantome de l'Opera" may not have recognized the book had "fantome" been translated as "ghost" rather than "phantom". But in French it's the same thing.

Ever since then, he's been referred to as "the Phantom", although a lot of versions will also refer to the "ghost" that apparently haunts the opera, especially if the scene has backstage workers talking. I guess they use the simpler "ghost" rather than "phantom" because they're usually depicted as being rather lower-class. The translation of the novel uses both "Phantom" and "Ghost", but in the original French they just use the one word.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical doesn't actually give him a name, preferring to maintain an additional layer of mystique by simply using "Phantom" throughout; but in versions where he *is* named, he's "Erik" after the novel (in which his last name is never given). Only a very few people ever know his actual name, though.

I suppose the short version is that as most of the characters only know of him as this ghost that haunts the opera, that's how they refer to him, with "phantom" usually being used rather than "ghost" as it's closer to the word used in the original French.

He lived a truly horrible life. His story is easy to identify with, because things that are small pains in our life are magnetized in his.
