If you love theater, literature, cinema and of course opera one of the most beloved titles that has become extremely popular over the years is the Phantom of the Opera. This work of art has fascinated millions with the mystery of music, love and death. While the Phantom of the Opera is in essence fiction, there is a real life mystery tied in many ways to this work.
What is Buried Deep Below the Palais Garnier?
The real mystery of the Phantom of the Opera is that deep below the Palais Garnier opera house there is a vault- some might even call it a time capsule. This time capsule includes a plaque and written on this plaque it states that it houses a secret- it contains gramophone records, a name- M. Alfred Clark and a date.
This vault was not known to all mainly due to the fact that it was requested that it would not be open until 100 years have passed from the date that appears on the plaque- June 28, 2007. To find out what the Phantom of the Opera hid deep beneath the Palais Garnier, the Smithsonian Magazine has a fascinating article that reveals this incredible mystery.
