Get ready to be immersed in this hauntingly beautiful audiobook production of Erin A. Craig's Our Strange Duet, featuring a full cast of star-studded Broadway and West End talent, with newly recorded vocals and musical excerpts from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.

A reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, spotlighting Christine Daaé as she rises to fame while torn between love, ambition, and the haunting secrets of the opera house from #1 New York Times bestselling author Erin A. Craig.

She was never just the voice he shaped . . .

A rising soprano with a gift she is only just learning to embrace, Christine Daaé has moved through the glittering world of the Opera Populaire longing to find her purpose. Instead, she finds herself caught between two men who refuse to let her slip quietly into the chorus.

One is Raoul, her childhood friend turned devoted admirer, offering her a future filled with warmth, safety, and a love that feels like sunlight. The other is a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Opera House: The Phantom. His brilliance, obsession, and dangerous devotion to nurturing Christine’s talents ignites a dark and complicated passion in her heart.

As Christine’s star ascends, so does the tension between Raoul and the Phantom. She must decide who she is when the curtain falls—and what she’s willing to risk for the life she wants.

Set against the sweeping, romantic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, Our Strange Duet allows Christine Daaé to take center stage to tell her own story: fierce, emotional, and unforgettable.

You don’t need 12 hours for this kind of story. The musical’s plot is fairly compact, so the book pads things out with a number of sometimes illogical and unnecessary scenes. There is a "spicy" moment, the sort of thing you’d find in any typical fanfiction.
Is the audiobook entertaining? - Yes.
Is it a must-read? - No.
Listening to it once is enough, unless you’re a teenager who wants to listen to certain parts over and over again.
