She has no intention of throwing away her singing career for romance.ĭespite being the most profitable season in the Opera’s history, the management resigns.
Raoul visits Christine in her dressing room to ask her to resign from the opera and marry him, but Christine refuses. Christine is a rising star of opera, having moved up from the chorus to become the understudy of the prima donna, Madame Carlotta. Comte Phillipe de Chagny and his brother Vicomte Raoul de Chagney watch the presentation, but Raoul wants to hear his sweetheart Christine Daaé sing. The film begins at the opening night of a production of Gounod’s Faust at the Paris Opera House. Production began in mid-October of 1924 and the film was released on November 25, 1925. Laemmle quickly bought the film rights with Lon Chaney to star as the monstrous Erik. Leroux gave Laemmle a copy of his 1910 novel of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra when hearing that Laemmle was an admirer of the Paris Opera House. The film’s origins had begun in 1923 when the president of Universal Pictures, Carl Laemmle, had met author Gaston Leroux while on vacation in Paris. The film is most famous for Lon Chaney’s astounding performance and grisly makeup. The original 1925 silent film version of The Phantom of the Opera is the most famous version of the Gaston Leroux story of the disfigured and deranged Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House.
