<P> In 1911 Paris , the Palais Garnier is believed to be haunted by an entity known as the Phantom or the Opera Ghost . One day , the stagehand , Joseph Buquet , is found hanged , presumably by the Phantom , after boasting about him to the corps de ballet . At the same time , Christine Daaé , a young Swedish soprano , has been tutored by what she believes to be the Angel of Music , sent by her deceased father . On the night of the gala performance for the old manager 's retirement , Christine is called upon to sing in the place of the Opera 's leading soprano , Carlotta , who is ill , and her performance is an astonishing success . The Vicomte Raoul de Chagny , who was present at the performance , recognises her as his childhood playmate , and recalls his love for her . He attempts to visit her backstage , where he hears a man speaking to her from inside her dressing room . He investigates the room once Christine leaves , only to find that there 's no one else in the room . </P>
