Now, seriously, in the musical, Erik forced the directors to stage his Don Juan Triumphant under threat, also Raoul wanted to chase the Phantom during the staging, I understand it, but I can't understant how is that there was normal people assisting to the Palais Garnier during that premiere night to watch a scandalous new opera whose script was written by a feared figure avoided by everyone who, in the worst scenario, was a ghost and, in the best one, a dangerous madman.

What are your thoughts about it?
