* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Almost universally, Christine and Meg are portrayed as this trope. Although they're occasionally reversed, Christine is usually the Dark and Meg the Light, but you'll almost never find an adaptation where they're ''both'' Light or Dark. (In a related trope, in visual adaptations, there's frequently a BlondeBrunetteRedhead motif with Meg, Christine, and Carlotta respectively.)

* ''Phantom,'' a 1990 novel by Susan Kay, is Erik's autobiography in which he describes his life prior to the events of ''Phantom of the Opera.'' In it, Erik's obsession with Christine is explained away with the FreudianExcuse that she is a {{doppelganger}} of Erik's beautiful but rejecting mother.



* DramaticUnmask: A staple of most versions. The 1925 silent film is the most dramatic.

** The iconic poster for the Broadway musical shows a white mask that covers the entire upper face, rather than the half-mask used in the production. The full mask was originally part of the costume, but was scrapped at the last minute due to technical difficulties and survives only in the poster.
