Three stories, based on characters from the original Phantom of the Opera novel. Three stories, revisiting that universe. A phantom who lives in hiding. An angel heard in dreams. There are Phantoms of the Mind, that send a lonely rape victim spiraling off into madness. Theres The Portal, a place where darkness meets light. There is Little Lotte, the child who hears an angel sing. Unlike any stage or screen version, the focus is angel, not phantom. Ever present, he unites the threads of these tales.
