Destler is his last name in the Gerard Butler Phantom movie as well. I know his mother refused to name him because he was so ugly to her. Yes we have to assume Christine is not Operetta's mom because she's a normie and not a monster. I have the Gaston Leroux novel myself.

wow! really? now im going to have to re-watch it! is it the same way in the stage version? I have a script floating around here somewhere i need to re-read! ( i am a huge PHan nut, in case you can't tell, lol!) I even took a family portrait a while back with my Ken and Barbie and Opie!

In the stage version he has no last name.
'The Phantom of the Opera' / Eric Matthews / Erik / Erik Destler / Erik The Phantom of the Opera / Erik the Phantom / Erique Claudin / Phantom of the Opera / Song Danping / The Phantom of the Opera
those are all his names in every adaptation. Operetta could have any of the last names.
