My Phantom: The Memoir of Christine Daaé
Description:
My Phantom is the memoir of Christine Daaé, the soprano immortalized in Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera. Christine's memoir unmasks an enduring legend with the stories of a talented orphan struggling toward stardom and a throwaway boy who conquers opera's greatest stage. My Phantom chronicles the collaboration of a musical master and his exceptional student who rescue each other from loneliness while striving to reach the pinnacle of their art only to find themselves trapped in a love triangle that destines one to remain forever alone. My Phantom unfolds in the world's most intriguing opera house in Belle Époque Paris, where Impressionists inspire a freewheeling spirit and opera singers are the first global superstars. Christine and her lovers - the mysterious Phantom and the aristocrat Raoul - personify the élan of glittering era whose artistic ferment shapes their lives forever.
