Is phantom of the opera a play or an opera?
Gaston Leroux the creator of the Phantom of the Opera, he intended to be full pledge Opera because the Phantom had a huge vocal range.
Chapter XII Apollo's Lyre- I heard a long, beautiful wail which I knew well. It is the plaint of Lazarus when, at the sound of the Redeemer's voice, he begins to open his eyes and see the light of day. It was the music which you and I, Raoul, heard at Perros. And then the voice began to sing the leading phrase, "Come! And believe in me! Whoso believes in me shall live! Walk! Whoso hath believed in me shall never die!...' Come! And believe in me!' I believed in it, I came....I came and-- this was the extraordinary thing--my dressing-room, as I moved, seemed to lengthen out...to lengthen out....Evidently, it must have been an effect of mirrors...for I had the mirror in front of me....And, suddenly, I was outside the room without knowing how!"
"I had no time to think about the meaning he put into his words. We at once began the duet in Othello and already the catastrophe was upon us. I sang Desdemona with a despair, a terror which I had never displayed before. As for him, his voice thundered forth his revengeful soul at every note. Love, jealousy, hatred, burst out around us in harrowing cries. Erik's black mask made me think of the natural mask of the Moor of Venice. He was Othello himself. Suddenly, I felt a need to see beneath the mask. I wanted to know the face of the voice, and, with a movement which I was utterly unable to control, swiftly my fingers tore away the mask. Oh, horror, horror, horror!"
Othello, the Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1603.Giuseppe Verdi and librettist Arrigo Boito adapted Shakespeare's play to Otello, an Italian grand opera in four acts that was first performed at the Teatro alla Scala, Milan on February 5, 1887. Othello is traditionally sung by a tenor.
Francesco Tamagno-was renowned for the extreme power of his singing, especially in the upper register. Indeed, music critics often likened the sound of his voice to that of a trumpet or even a cannon. (This rare type of singer is called a "tenore robusto" or "tenore di forza" by Italians.) Tamagno's vocal range extended effortlessly up to the high C-sharp during his prime. He was no mere 'belter' of high notes, however; his recordings provide evidence of his ability, even at career's end, to modulate the dynamic levels of his clarion instrument with remarkable skill and unexpected sensitivity.
His international career would not take off in an explosive way until the 1887-1888 season, with the role of Otello -- which Verdi had written with Tamagno's extraordinary voice in mind -- serving as his global calling card. Tamagno travelled widely during the final dozen years of the 19th century, accepting lucrative invitations to perform Otello and other strenuous operatic parts in France, Portugal, Spain (where he had first sung in 1875-1876), Germany, Austria, Russia, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico and, as we have noted, Argentina.
The musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, it is not a opera but a musical operetta inspired.

How did the phantom of the opera end?
The Phantom is unmasked by Christine during a performance after he disguises himself as Piangi (After murdering him).
The Phantom drags Christine down to his lair whilst Madame Giry leads Raoul to its entrance, meanwhile, a mob forms in pursuit of the Phantom.
Christine is forced into the wedding dress in the lair not long before Raoul arrives, the Phantom allows him into the lair and, whilst he speaks with Christine, suspends him with his Punjab lasso, choking him slowly, the Phantom tells Christine that if she marries him and stays with him he will let Raoul live. However, should she choose Raoul he will kill him with the lasso.
The trio in the lair begin to sing (Raoul to Christine, Christine to the Phantom, the Phantom to Christine and himself), at the end of this Christine kisses the Phantom.
He is completely caught off-guard by being shown the affection and love from her that he guiltily releases Raoul and orders the two to escape as the mob closes in.
Raoul and Christine leave as the Phantom sings to the tune of his music box, Christine returns to hand him the wedding ring he gave to her and returns to Raoul.
The two sail from the lair singing to each other and the Phantom sings the final line of the musical ('You alone...').
After this he moves to his throne and throws his Opera cape over himself.
The mob reach the lair and Meg Giry is the first to enter, she discovers the throne and cape and upon pulling the cape away the Phantom is nowhere to be seen - only his mask remains.
Meg picks up the mask and eyes it over, cradling it somewhat as the musical ends.

I'm sure you can come up with more. This is how www.dictionary.com defines the word "villain": vil·lain-noun 1. a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel. 2. a character in a play, novel, or the like, who constitutes an important evil agency in the plot. I do not think that the Phantom fits in the first definition because he is not truly cruel; everything he does, he thinks he does it for a reason other than sadistic tendencies. He is not safe in his mind and therefore is simply willing to do anything for what he wants; i.e., Christine. He is simply trying to get something rather than doing it for no reason other than his pleasure. However, it may be argued that he fits the second definition. It can certainly be argued that the Phantom is not "evil", but that is his role in the play and movie; he is the antagonist. However, it can be argued that he is in fact the protagonist and a victim of the unfeeling demands of perfection from society. Do I believe that the Phantom is a villain? No; I think he is a person who needs guidance and shelter in order to get his priorities straight. Are there others who think that he is a villain? Yes, I'm quite sure that there are. It's an extremely arguable point and it is very hard to pin it down.
