PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

IN PARIS

In Paris,

beneath the gilded splendour of the Palais Garnier, when the curtain falls, another story begins: that of the Phantom, born from the pen of Gaston Leroux

Neither wholly monster nor wholly man, he makes this place of light his kingdom of shadows. A solitary musical genius, he harbours an obsessive passion for Christine, a young opera singer.

Since its beginnings in the heart of the Palais Garnier, this story has transcended time and generations, establishing itself as a universal legend where passion, mystery and tragedy intertwine.

"WHERE THE FLAME FADES, A PRESENCE REMAINS"

When the Curtain Falls

At the Opera, everything begins — and ends — with a movement. The “When the Curtain Falls” line embodies this shift: the moment when the stage slips into the unseen, when the Phantom’s presence is sensed but never fully revealed. Within the set’s presentation case, an engraved metal chandelier sustains this dramatic tension, seemingly suspended at the very moment of its fall.

The Angel of Music

Before becoming a threat to Christine, the Phantom is a voice. “The Angel of Music” line explores this relationship, in which music becomes both a bond and a means of control. Like a score in motion, the collection is adorned with musical notes, evoking the Phantom’s musical genius and the obsession that consumes him.

The Final Gleam

Then comes the moment when everything changes. A gleam, a silence, and the fall. Inspired by the Phantom’s threat made real and the chandelier crashing down upon the audience, “The Final Gleam” line captures that moment of rupture when tension becomes visible and the spectacle descends into tragedy.
