The angel of the opera
One of the best stories/adaptations to the phantom of the opera that I have read happens to be the book,The Angel of the opera: Sherlock Holmes meets the phantom of the opera. I'll give you the summery of the book for those who are interested.
Summery:
The unforgettable place:Paris,1890.The glittering scene: the labyrinthine paris opera house.The irresistible premise:What if Sherlock Holmes,lured across the channel by the beleaguered managers of the Opera House ,unlocks the true sercets motivating the infamous Phantom?
As the Hunchedbacked Quasimodo was the soul of Notra Dame, so is Erik-shadow ruler of the Opera's nether regions-the Opera's true soul. Living at the hights of passion,despising the concernes of ordenary men who are the acknowlaged keepers of his domain in the eyes of the world, the Phantom-defiant and tormented genius that he is poses a persistent threat to his unwilling landlords,lesser men who are not even certain they believe of his existance.
But, as is the case with all problems presented to the great Sherlock Holmes for solution,nothing is quite as it seems at first...as thrilling episode follows even more thrilling episode in a tempestuous drama, played out against the background of one of fiction's most romantically errie settings. Shearlockians and the Phantom's Phandom both will relish Sam Siciliano's sympathetic imagination and find themselves charmed by such a reinvented characters such as Christine Daae ("The Angel") and her arrogant suitor,Raoul de Changny.
