In 1905 he was present at and covered the Russian Revolution.
His most important journalism came when he began working as an international correspondent for the Paris newspaper Le Matin. Then in 1890, he began working as a court reporter and theater critic for L'Écho de Paris. He inherited millions of francs and lived wildly until he nearly reached bankruptcy. Leroux went to school in Normandy and studied law in Paris, graduating in 1889. It was also the basis of the 1990 novel Phantom by Susan Kay.
In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel The Phantom of the Opera ( Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, 1910), which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name, such as the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux was a French journalist and author of detective fiction. Whatever the version, this is one of the most entertaining novels of the kind and therefore its eternal popularity. This small masterpiece have been taken to the theatre, to the musical comedy and numerous times to the movies, with treatments that are equally classic, since every director has given different interpretations to the character, from turning him into a symbol of the artist pushed back by the society up to the representation of the most incredible psychological aberrations. It tells the story of a disfigured musical genius (Gerard Butler) who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris opera house to take revenge against the world, until the day that he falls in love for a beautiful singer, who changes completely the course of his life. It is ironic that out of the dozen of books written by the French novelist Gaston Leroux, the one that has given him immortality is the classic of horror called ""The phantom of the opera"".
