Here, the “voice” from her dressing room manifests into a flesh-and-blood man, and Raoul’s conflict against him for the heart and soul of Christine begins in earnest-even though Raoul doesn’t yet understand the true nature of that conflict. She already knows about the Angel of Music and has, essentially, already passed her own Inciting Event.įirst Plot Point: Raoul follows Christine to the Perros graveyard, where he learns of her mysterious singing instructor-the Angel of Music.

Note, too, how this approach works because Christine is not the protagonist. Particularly in the case of the managers, they’re “refusing the Call to Adventure” by refusing to even acknowledge the call exists. They’ve encountered the beginnings of the main conflict, but they don’t yet really know what it is or how to grapple with it. In both instances, the characters brush against the conflict. Meanwhile, the new managers take over the opera-and refuse to cooperate with “O.G.,” the so-called opera ghost. He sneaks in later, only to discover no one is there. Inciting Event: On the night when the viscount Raoul finally declares himself to his childhood sweetheart-the new belle of the opera, Christine Daae-he hears a strange man speaking to her in her dressing room.
