Lesson Planet
You could spend a full day discussing The Phantom of the Opera and not scratch the surface, but a set of lessons about the literary elements and themes of the musical production is a great start. Young thespians build upon the background of the story, compare the symbolism of music and masks to other works of literature, and analyze Christine's character in an inspiring and engaging series of activities and discussion points.
