!Phantom of the Operetta offers examples of:
*AbhorrentAdmirer: The Phantom is obsessed with the show's lead singer.
*LoveableRogue: Valdez's character. He's mostly shameless but seems to care for his love interest.
*TheMusical: there are several song and dance numbers including in the finale.
*RealAfterAll: In the end it turns out that [[spoiler:there ''was'' a real ghost! But he only wanted to sing in peace, so he just vanishes.]]
*ShoutOut: to the 1943 Phantom Of The Opera film.
*ScoobyDooHoax: The Phantom turns out to be [[spoiler:a whole gang of smugglers who were using the theater as their headquarters.]]
*TimeBomb: It gets confused with a clock and ends up switching hands several times.
*WholesomeCrossdresser: When the lead is kidnapped, her lover is forced to dress up and perform in her place.
