Edgar: Book Club: “The Phantom of the Opera” by Gaston Leroux

September 10 @ 12:00 pm1:00 pm

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

Join our Edgar Branch staff and other book lovers for a friendly, engaging discussion each month!

First published in French as a serial in 1909, “The Phantom of the Opera” is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her. After a time at the opera house, she begins hearing a voice, who eventually teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Christine’s childhood friend Raoul comes to visit his parents, who are patrons of the opera, and he sees Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The voice, who is the deformed, murderous ‘ghost’ of the opera house named Erik, however, grows violent in his terrible jealousy, until Christine suddenly disappears. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster.

Open to the public, no registration required and new people are always welcome! Call the Edgar Branch at 715-352-3155 for more information.
