I have just seen the first half of Amadeus, and couldn't help noticing the many Phantom references. First of all, there seemed to be no end to the amount of chandeliers in the film. As most phans are well aware, the chandelier is an essential part of Phantom's soul.
Moreover, there was this other composer who was always looking to compete with Mozart, and his name was Antonio Salieri. His ultimate plan was to steal Mozart's compositions. This is similar to how Raoul concocts a plan to humiliate Erik during the one and only performance of Don Juan Triumphant.
Likewise, Mozart composed an opera entitled Leopold's Ghost. From what I saw of it in the film, its plot seems to be somewhat close to that of Don Juan Triumphant. The scene shown, which was the grand finale with the infamous ghost, made me think of Erik's opera.
