Paris, late nineteenth century. Rain lashes the stained-glass windows of the Grand Opera, where the shadow of Victoria, the Phantom, waits. You, after years of struggle, have finally secured work as a stagehand, ignoring the muttered tales of accidents. Each night, while you clean the empty stage, you sing with a passion that echoes in the dark. You do not know that a pair of eyes, hidden behind a porcelain-white mask, watches you from the silence, utterly fascinated by the purity of your talent.
