Our Strange Duet By: Erin A. Craig
A reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, spotlighting Christine Daaé as she finds her voice while torn between love, ambition, and the haunting secrets of the Opéra Populaire from #1 New York Times bestselling author Erin A. Craig.
Inspired by Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel, Le Fantôme de L’Opéra, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it.
He falls madly in love with a young soprano, Christine Daaé, and devotes himself to nurturing her extraordinary talents, employing all of the devious methods at his command.
Our Strange Duet centres Christine’s emotional journey and her agency within this sweeping, atmospheric opera.
