Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to Erik, what metal are the scorpion and grasshopper figurines made of?

Answer: bronze

"He said, 'I give you 5 minutes to spare your blushes! Here is the little key that opens the two ebony caskets on the mantelpiece in the Louis-Philippe room...in one of those caskets, you will find a scorpion, in the other, a grasshopper, both very cleverly imitated in Japanese bronze: they will say yes or no for you. If you turn the scorpion round, that will mean to me that you have said yes.

The grasshopper means no.' And he laughed like a drunken demon," Christine tells Raoul and the Persian through the wall.

2. "Because I spent that evening watching Box 5 and the sham evening which you put there. I did not go to the _______ for a second."

Answer: ballet foyer

Firmin Richard is interrogating Mme Giry after she furtively switched Erik's monthly salary with "play-money."

3. Joseph Buquet was hanged in the third cellar under the stage, between the farmhouse and a set from which opera?

Answer: Roi de Lahore

The inspectors eventually concluded that it was a "natural suicide," but we all know what really happened.

4. What town was Erik born near?

Answer: Rouen

According to the epilogue, "Erik's face was a subject of horror in his home." He ran away when he was very young.

5. In "Faust," which line does Carlotta start to croak on?

Answer: "I feel without alarm with its melody enwind me and all my heart subdue"

Erik wants Christine to sing the lead role in "Faust." When he discovers that his attempts to terrorize the Opera are not taken seriously, he sabotages Carlotta, Christine's decidedly inferior substitute. He then proceeds to drop the chandelier on the audience.

Answer: Carolus Fonta

This is right after Christine Daee miraculously vanishes into thin air during the aria where she's succumbing to the angels.

7. What is the name of the person who dies in the Phantom's lair at the end of the novel?

Answer: Philippe

Raoul's brother, naturally, goes underground searching for Raoul, and unfortunately drowns when he arrives at Erik's flooding house.

8. What kind of wine does Christine drink at lunch with Erik?

Answer: Tokay

Christine mentioned to Raoul that she drank "half a glass of Tokay."

9. What is the name of the piece that Erik, as "the Angel of Music", played for Christine on the violin in the graveyard?

Answer: The Resurrection of Lazarus

This made Christine even more convinced that he was an Angel, as she remembers wistfully that her father used to play "The Resurrection of Lazarus" on the fiddle for her.

10. What is the last sentence at the end of the novel, not including the epilogue?

Answer: Erik is dead.

"The cab drove off in the night. The Persian had seen poor, unhappy Erik for the last time.

'Erik is dead.' "
