THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
by Gaston Leroux

A full-cast audio dramatization written and directed by Barnaby Edwards
Starring Anna Massey, James D'Arcy, Alexander Siddig and Peter Guinness.

In the cosmopolitan Paris of the 1880s, the new proprietors of the Opera House are amused to discover that their costly acquisition is said to be haunted. But their smiles quickly vanish, as tragedy follows misfortune: a murdered stagehand, a fatal accident, a missing girl. Fearful tales of the Opera Ghost race through the corridors and dressing rooms of the theatre. And with good reason - for deep in the catacombs beneath the Opera House, something is stirring...

    Is this encoded from the CD or from the BBC offering? I have a VBR recording from the Beeb that's about the same file sizes.

    Just curious.

      Bob,
      I am not sure. Someone else sent it to me. They said it was an encode from Big finish, an mp3 download from them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick
