[00:06.48]The Phantom 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 captured 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 released 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.
