Parisian Gazette
In a small building on the busy streets of Paris, France, was a printing press which printed one of the most renowned newspapers of the time: The Parisian Gazette.
Now, virtually unknown to the people of France, or anyone else at the current.
It was the town of Paris' most informative publication in the late 1800's. The Gazette gave wonderful insights to the happenings around Paris- including the terrific scandal at the Paris Opera House!
Here, in this very document, are those excerpts that most concern the extraordinary circumstances at Charles Garnier's Opera House.
The passages are arranged as they happened in the book: the happenings in the first chapter of 'The Phantom of the Opera' that were written about in the Parisian Gazette are organized in the first chapter of this document.
You are now about to get a rare look into the Opera House occurrences through the eyes of the French public.

(Ok, gotta say this-- noooo, The Phantom of the Opera doesn't belong to me. The Phantom (Erik), Raoul de Chagney, Christine Daae, Mme. Giry, Meg Giry, and all the people who aren't reporters don't belong to me- they belong to Monsieur Gaston Leroux (btw, this is based only upon the book, not the musical; I haven't ever had the opportunity to see the musical!! Poor me...) Also, this is my first (and more than likely last) POTO phanphiction, so please be kind!)
