What is the history of the Monkey music box in the 2004 movie Phantom of the Opera?
Yes, in very many ways. A monkey symbolizes many things that are strongly related to the story. The movie's end has a moment where Christine is sailing away with Raoul but turns to look back at the Phantom, while she sings the words "Share each day with me, each night, each morning...", that is also in the original screenplay, which states that she seems to be singing that to the Phantom.
In India, the monkey is a symbol of soul. Monkeys may represent lust. A monkey may also represent positive attributes, such as inspiration and a sense of freedom. Monkeys as symbols appear to have a double or twin meaning. Whether positive or negative, the monkey is revealing something about what is going on in your inner world.
This is why it may be validly interpret that Christine, though had been a happy and beloved wife and mother in her marriage with Raoul, she had always been torn in two. As in never felt truly free because by leaving the Phantom behind, she parted from an essential part of her. The Phantom had once inspired her voice and she obviously had felt tons of lust towards him and according to the film's director, Joel Schumacher, she felt a very deep and very soulful union with the Phantom. Perhaps, by bringing to her graveside, the monkey music box which by the way had belonged to the person with whom Christine had emotionally/spiritually shared every moment of her life, Raoul wanted to make a gesture of understanding or apology to her. After all he went through a lot of trouble to get the object and the film makes it seem like the story we see is him remembering the events on his way to Christine's grave.
Also, the music box plays the tune of "Masquerade", which lyrics appeal and connect to the Phantom's character. ("Masquerade, paper faces on parade. Masquerade, hide your face so the world will never find you.")
Is phantom of the opera realistic?
Not technically. Technically speaking, both versions - film and stage - are not classical operas, they're musicals. (And even the literature/promotional materials refer to it as such, actually-) Traditionally, operas have little or no spoken words - all of the dialogue is sung. Musicals have numbers that represent conversations, advance the plotline, or serve some other major purpose... but they also contain "normal" theatrical spoken dialogue. It's close, though. The spoken dialogue really is at a minimum... but then again, music IS the soul of the entire plot, more or less, which makes it much easier to fuse the two.

I don't think you can or should try and find free flute sheet music. If you find sheet music, it should cost or it would be considered copyright. I have tried the exact same thing, and no reliable site had come up. Sorry if this sounds like a load of junk, but you'd rather have no free music than end up in juvie, right?
