Violinist Erique Claudin is dismissed from the Paris Opera House after revealing that he is losing the use of the fingers of his left hand. It is also the only horror film from Universal to win an Oscar. The original storyline was completely revised and there was no attempt to film the masked ball sequence, although the famous falling of the chandelier was re-enacted on an epic scale, using elaborate camera set-ups. Other than the sets, this remake had little in common with the earlier film. The auditorium set, a replica of the Opéra Garnier interior, created for the 1925 film The Phantom of the Opera was reused. The film is loosely based on the novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux and its 1925 film adaptation starring Lon Chaney. The original music score was composed by Edward Ward. The film stars Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster, and Claude Rains, and was filmed in Technicolor.
