When stripped of the musical and cinematic additions which have clung to the story over the last 100 years, Gaston Leroux's tragic tale still sounds fresh and engaging. A beautifully crafted tale with at its heart the brooding, monstrous, yet pitiful figure of the Phantom. Around him swirl the young and naive lovers and the almost comic comings and goings of the 18th century Paris Opera House. Head Stories Audio present this classic tale narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
