The scene opens in black and white in the year 1919. The dilapidated Paris Opera House holds an auction. Raoul, the Viscount of Chagny, an old wheelchair-bound man, purchases a coveted music box in a shape of a monkey wearing Persian robes and playing cymbals. During the auction, he spots a familiar face Madame Giry, whom he met as a young man ("Prologue"). The next piece for auction, lot 666: a chandelier in pieces which has been restored and newly wired with electricity. As the auctioneers display the restored chandelier, which illuminates and slowly rises to its old place in the rafters the opening crescendo of music wipes away the years of decay from the opera house as the black and white turns into colour, and is transported back in time to 1870 ("Overture").
During a show rehearsal, the opera house is put into the hands of two new owners, Richard Firmin and Gilles André. Madame Giry the ballet mistress and the mother of Meg Giry, introduces them to Christine Daaé, a young but talented singer who was orphaned at seven years old. Young Raoul is introduced to the cast as the patron. Christine secretly recognizes him from her childhood. ("Hannibal") The lead soprano Carlotta Giudicelli performs an aria for the managers but a backdrop falls almost crushing her. Outraged, Carlotta refuses to perform that night and leaves. Meanwhile Madame Giry has a note from the "Opera Ghost" The Phantom of the Opera, who lives somewhere within the opera house and is believed to be a ghost. The note says he welcomes the new mangers, that they must pay him twenty thousand francs a month. And that they leave box five empty for his usage for every performance. Firmin and André say they will cancel the show because of Carlotta's absence. Madame Giry insists that Christine could sing it because she has had lessons from a great teacher, whom Christine does not know the name. At first the managers have doubts about her, but Christine proves to be worthy when she sings for them. During Christine's performance, Raoul recognizes her from his childhood ("Think of Me"). After the performance Meg finds Christine in a small room where she lights a candle for her deceased father. She asks Christine how she learned to sing so well. Christine explains that an Angel of Music comes and teaches her. She has never seen him but she thinks her father sent him from heaven. But it is really the Opera Ghost, or Phantom of the Opera, who teaches her. When Christine returns to her dressing room, Madame Giry gives her a single rose with a black ribbon on it from her teacher. Saying that he is pleased with her. ("Angel of Music"). She then reunites with Raoul and they recall their childhood. She tries to tell him about the Angel of music but Raoul invites her to dinner with him. She declines saying that the Angel is very strict, Raoul doesn't listen and leaves to order a carriage ("Little Lottie").
