Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In whose room does the book open?

Answer: La Sorelli

It is interesting to note that the character of La Sorelli never appears in the musical version of "Phantom".

2. Where in the theatre is Box Five located?

Answer: first left tier

This is most likely the "best seat in the house"; after the boxes already specified for reservation in the Manager's Handbook.

3. What is heard around Buquet's hanged body?

Answer: the singing of the dead

The music originated in the Phantom's house, and was able to be heard through the secret entrance located near where Buquet was hanged.

4. What color ink are the Phantom's corrections to the Manager's Handbook written in?

Answer: red

In addition to Box Five, the Phantom also requires 240,000 francs per year.

5. What is Firmin's last name?

Answer: Richard

It is interesting to note that he is called Monsieur Firmin and not Monsieur Richard.

6. True or False? M. Firmin and M. Moncharmin believe in the existence of the Opera Ghost?

Answer: False

Not only do they not believe in him, the think that the previous managers are playing a joke on them.

7. What play is being performed when the chandelier falls?

Answer: Faust

In the musical version of "Phantom", the chandelier falls during the performance of "Il Muto".

8. At the masked ball, the Phantom is dressed as the Red Death.

Answer: True

Also part of the Phantom's costume is a note that reads "Do not touch me. I am the Red Death passing by."

9. What is the Phantom's name?

Answer: Erik

In the musical version of "Phantom", it seems that the name of "Erik" is never mentioned. At least, not that I could find.

10. The Phantom is known as the "Lover of..." What is he the lover of?

Answer: Trapdoors

Again, this designation is not mentioned in the musical version of "Phantom".

11. On the roof of the Opera, what is the statue of Apollo holding?

Answer: lyre

The Phantom hides behind this staue in order to spy on Christine and Raoul.

12. Who is NOT accused of abducting Christine?

Answer: Andre

Also included in the list of suspects is Raoul's brother, Philippe.

13. Who is the Persian's servant?

Answer: Darius

Again, the Persian and his servant are not mentioned in the musical.

14. Where do Raoul and the Persian originally enter a secret passage?

Answer: Christine's dressing room

Although there are passages, trapdoors, or cubbyholes in all of the choices, their search originates in Christine's room.

15. The "fiery head" in the cellars was the Phantom.

Answer: False

The "fiery head" was actually a rat-catcher, and not connected with the Phantom in any way.

16. The Persian knew where Christine was hidden during her "first abduction".

Answer: True

Yes, indeed he did know, but did not tell anyone due to a promise he made to Erik. (Read chapter 22 in the book.)

17. What tells the Phantom that someone is at/on the Lake of the Dead?

Answer: an electric bell

Yet another thing that never made it into the musical.

18. Fill in the Blank: "______! ______! Any ______ to sell?"

Answer: Barrels

This is referring to the barrels that Erik stored his gunpowder in.

19. How does Raoul's brother, Philippe, die?

Answer: It is an accident

This is a controversial issue; however, since Erik was truthful in telling how his secrets work, we must believe him when he said that it was an accident.

20. What does the Phantom say at the end of the book?

Answer: To the Opera.

In the musical, his last words are "It's over now, the Music of the Night", but in the book it is "To the Opera", spoken after his final visit to the Persian.
