Like any good mystery writer, Gaston Leroux builds his novels in layers. On one layer, his The Phantom of the Opera is a tragic love story about the reclusive, deformed Erik's obsession for the opera singer Christine Daaé. But on the other layer, the book is a celebration of a particular city, Paris, and a particular building, the Paris Opera House.
