PARISIAN MASQUERADE
*Mask ON: part of the Phantom's character is to hide his face, therefore his expressions tend to be unreadable. The eyes can slant and widen a little for the sake of clarity, but nothing too exaggerated. That includes unable to tell if his eyes are open/closed.
THE PALAIS GARNIER
Constructed by architect Garnier under the instruction and funding of Gustave Daae, the Palais Garnier stands at the very heart of Paris.
The elaborate details and intricate golden statues, rival some of the most emblematic buildings in French aristocracy.
Exploration
The Palais Garnier was by all means, created with the purpose of honoring the arts. It rivals the Academy of the Arts in its intricacy and detail.
Elements that appeal to an homage to music are present in both the decor and statues crowning its top.

PARIS IN THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Victorian Paris is illuminated by candlelight and greatly inspired by the romance in the story, any light source is emphasized to remark on the dramatism. Contrasts will be one of the leading characteristics in setting.
THE STAGE
Thanks to the abundance of gold and careful polish, the main stage of the Opera House shines with its own light. Its chandelier adorns the very top of the dome. The distribution of seats is divided by those seated near the stage and music pit, while other prefer to watch from the balconies.
The Phantom's seat of preference is Box 5. This used to be reserved for Gustave Daae and his daughters. Strangely, it was never occupied by them.

CREATING THE OPERA POSTERS
