PROMPT:
Create a photorealistic image of the Phantom of the Opera standing dramatically on a grand, curved staircase in a lavish, ornate opera house, surrounded by intricate golden balconies and red velvet drapes. The Phantom's iconic mask glimmers with subtle, eerie highlights, and his dark, tattered cape flows behind him like a dark waterfall. Use vibrant colors, particularly emerald green, crimson red, and midnight blue, to bring this opulent scene to life. The Phantom's eyes burn with an intense, otherworldly energy, drawing the viewer inexorably into the mystery.
