Welcome to Gaia! ::

The following plot is influenced by the Broadway musical and Leroux's original novel.

Plot

It has been fifteen years since the burning of the Opera Populaire. It has been reconstructed, and now the new owners of the building are looking for new employees. Some old members, such as Madame Giry and her daughter, Meg, have returned to fill these positions. Much to everyone's delight, Prima Donna Carlotta has not returned, for the death of her beloved Piangi had shaken her beyond repair.

Enter Vicomtess Christine de Chagny and her husband Raoul, as well as their daughter. The daughter had heard much about her mother's exciting career before the unexpected burning of the theatre. She suspects that her mother has come to audition for the role of Prima Donna, but her father lectures her whenever she asks her mother about it.

Exciting though it may be, her father claims that it is unproper for a mother and Vicomtess to be on stage, allowing many to feast upon her talent and beauty. Their daughter didn't understand how it was unproper, but she didn't understand much about nobility in the first place.

In reality, Christine had been plagued with dreams for years and had come to confront inner demons.

Whether or not the dreams were warranted were a mystery to the young lady. After all, years ago the headlines of the newspapers had announced that the infamous Phantom of the Opera was found dead in the catatombs of the Opera House...

Setting

As mentioned, it has been fifteen years since the burning of the Opera Populaire. The honored guests, Raoul de Chagny and family, are due to arrive any moment. It is around noontime, and the staff know of the honored guests. The opera, Evita, is to start approximately four hours after their arrival. Whether or not this will be an important detail or not is up to you.
