Music and theater lovers all over the world have shown their appreciation to one of the best musicals ever produced- the Phantom of the Opera. While this story tugs at our emotions during its performance, the melodramatic story which is full of feeling such as death, love and also mystery and music has a real life mystery surrounding it. If you love Phantom of the Opera, you will be intrigued by what was found buried deep within the Palais Garnier Opera House.
Buried deep within the Phantom of the Opera House one can say is a time capsule. It is even marked with a plaque. On the plaque it is written that the room contains gramophone records and includes a name- M. Alfred Clark and a date. Exactly what kind of gramophone records or other mysterious objects were buried in this vault in the Palais Garnier Opera House was not known for a long time due to the request that no one open the vault until 100 years pass from the date that appears on the plaque- June 28, 1907.
What was found in the vault was just as mysterious as the beloved Phantom of the Opera musical. Smithsonian Magazine has an exciting article on the incredible items saved for 100 years. To read it please visit our main website at the following link: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/
