The Mysterious Underground Lake of the Paris Opera House You can take a Phantom-themed tour of the opera house to see for yourself. While the story is fictional, the setting was inspired by the beautiful maze-like interior of the Paris Opéra. The famous tale of a haunting love triangle was a hit on Broadway and in England.
