Read about the author and answer the questions
Gaston Leroux, born in Paris in 1868, was trained in law, but chose a career in writing. He wrote stories, plays,poems, novels and screenplays. His own extensive travelsaround the world and his knowledge of the layout of theParis Opera are cleverly interwoven into The Phantom ofthe Opera. He was intrigued by the design of the operahouse and thought it would be the perfect setting for adetective story. The story remains as popular today as itwas when he wrote it.
How did the author's experience in travelling help in the development of the story?
Why did he choose the Opera House as the setting for his novel?
