Based on the novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux.

The story is set in Paris in the 19th century and follows the romantic relationship between a young soprano named Christine Daaé and a mysterious, disfigured musical genius known as the Phantom of the Opera, who haunts the Paris Opera House. The Phantom becomes obsessed with Christine and trains her to become a star, but he also terrorizes the opera house staff and sabotages performances when his demands are not met. Meanwhile, Christine falls in love with Raoul, a wealthy patron of the opera, and the Phantom's jealousy drives him to madness.

There were several lyricists approached or involved.

• Jim Steinman was approached but was working on an album at the time.
• Alan Jay Lerner was hired but became ill soon after and withdrew (he contributed parts of "Masquerade" but is not credited).
• Richard Stilgoe wrote most of the lyrics but most were replaced.
• Charles Hart was brought in to revise many of Stilgoe's lyrics.

• El Fantasma de la Opera (Spanish title)
• Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (source material)
• Das Phantom der Oper (German title)
