Synopsis

Andrew Lloyd Webber's sumptuous musical comes to the screen in this film adaptation.A voice calls from the shadows of the opera house to innocent chorus girl Christine Daae (Emmy Rossum). Only ballet mistress Madame Giry (Miranda Richardson), knows that the voice is that of the Phantom (Gerard Butler), a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs of the theatre.When temperamental diva La Carlotta (Minnie Driver) storms out, the theatre managers (Simon Callow and Ciaran Hinds) thrust Christine into the spotlight. Her mesmerizing performance captivates both the audience and the Phantom. But he is not the only powerful man to be awed by the young soprano, as Christine finds herself courted by the theatre's wealthy patron, the Vicompte Raoul de Chagny (Patrick Wilson). Though she is enthralled by the Phantom, Christine is drawn to the dashing Raoul, enraging the Phantom and setting the stage for a dramatic crescendo.If you experience sound problems with this DVD, please select sound preference under "Set Up Options" on the DVD main menu.
