When he hears Christine Daaé’s angelic voice, he is determined to make her the new diva. Carlotta, the opera house’s resident diva, is overcome with jealousy and devises a plan to ruin Christine’s debut performance. Erik is enraged and takes his revenge upon her, setting in motion a series of events that leads to the revelation of his past and his tragic demise.
