Phantom Phantasia — Poetry Inspired
by The Phantom of the Opera
Where Mystery, Music, and Poetry Meet
"A mask you ask? Optional I find!
Masks lend appeal of a mysterious kind."
“The Opera Ghost really existed,” Gaston Leroux declared—and his enigmatic Phantom continues to haunt the imaginations of readers and theatre lovers.
Phantom Phantasia celebrates Leroux’s world of mystery, passion, and unrequited love through twenty richly illustrated poems, ranging in mood from the serious to the comic.
Vintage imagery, photographs, original artwork, and colour plates evoke the splendour and shadows of Belle Époque Paris and its legendary Opera House.
