Autora pri pátraní v archívoch Národnej hudobnej akadémie ohromila prekvapujúca spätosť javov súvisiacich s fantómom a tragédiou rodiny grófa de Chagny, ktorá rozvírila pokojnú hladinu Paríža: unesená speváčka Kristina Daaé, zmiznutie vikomta de Chagnyho a smrť jeho staršieho brata grófa Filipa, ktorého telo našli na brehu jazera, rozprestierajúceho sa v podzemí Opery.

Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot, And place your hands below your husband´s foot. In token of which duty, if he please, My hand is ready, may it do him ease. Žena nech iné nič si neželá, len padnúť k nohám svojho manžela. Nech mi aj prsty postúpa - keď kvôli nemu to znášam, neviem, že to bolí. Proti posledným slovám, ktoré v tejto hre vysloví už skrotená Katarína, sa občas búria feministky - no Shakespeare sa môže iba usmievať. Veď tá čertica je nielen jednou z jeho najkrajších, ale i jednou z najemancipovanejších hrdiniek. Ktovie, či pokora, ktorú predvádza na záver, nie je len ukážkou, ako vedia ženy pri ovládaní mužov šikovne striedať stratégie. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) nebol len veľký dramatik - bude sa o ňom vždy hovoriť aj ako o najväčšom básnikovi divadla. Aj nový slovenský preklad je dielom básnika - hru preložil Ľubomír Feldek. Preklad sa opiera o najlepšie kritické vydanie THE ARDEN SHAKESPEARE.
