Deep in the passageways below the Paris Opera lives a lonely, talented, horribly disfigured man who revels in terrorizing the theater's employees as The Phantom of the Opera. But when the masked Phantom sees young Christine Daaé, his heart melts. He secretly trains her, transforms her into a star ... and loves her. But when she cannot return his affection, as her heart already belongs to another, all the pain that the Phantom has held within is revealed with horrifying results. Based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's global blockbuster romantic stage musical, the classic 1928 horror film starring Lon Chaney and the novel Le Fantôme de L'Opéra by Gaston Leroux.
The film earned several major award nominations, including Academy Award® for Best Art Direction (Anthony Pratt and Celia Bobak), Best Cinematography (John Mathieson), and Best Original Song for "Learn to Be Lonely," written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Charles Hart. It was also nominated for Golden Globe Awards® for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Emmy Rossum), and Best Original Song ("Learn to Be Lonely").
