When Christine arrives at the Opera Garnier, she is described as "sounding like a rusty hinge," but one person finds the beauty hidden in her tone.
It is here that Christine trains for four years to become a professional singer, if only to please the memory of her father and Mamma Valérius. With the loss of her father, Christine loses all of her passion and genius for music, only retaining enough of her skill to enter the Paris Conservatory. Three years later, Christine's father dies, leaving her disconsolate, despite the loving care of her "adopted" mother, Madame Valérius. A friendship results from this, with the two children spending time together every day during the summer. It is during a summer visit in Perros when Christine meets a young Raoul de Chagny, who rescues her red scarf when it flies into the sea.
Christine is extremely close to her father, who tells her Scandinavian fairy tales a tale of the "Angel of Music" is her favorite. They are discovered at the Ljimby Fair by Professor Valérius, who takes them to Gothenburg and then to Paris, providing for Christine's education and musical instruction.ĭuring the summers, the family would stay in a summer house in Perros-Guirec, in the Breton region of France, as a means of helping Christine's father with his homesickness and longing for Sweden. They find only poverty, and eventually travel to fairs where he plays the violin and she sings. Her mother dies when Christine is entering her sixth year, and she is brought up by her father, who after selling his land, travels to Uppsala in search of musical fame and fortune. Her father was a farmer who also sang in the church choir, known far and wide for his incredible talent with a violin.
