Plot Summary
The story begins when Agnes Nitt leaves Lancre to begin her career at the Opera House. The Witches leaves to obtain the money owed to Nanny Ogg by the publisher of her books, as well as to meddle and bring Agnes Nitt home. Agnes Nitt is being used as a voice, giving Christine the spotlight. However, during this time the Opera House is being haunted by a ghost. With the money rightfully coerced out of the publisher Granny Weatherwax pretends to be a rich patron to catch the Opera Ghost. Near the end of the novel a member of the Cable Street Particulars, along with the Witches determine that the finance is a total mess to disguise the money being siphoned off. It is revealed that there were two people pretending to be the ghost, the original ghost was the jaintor's son, while the 2nd person did it for the money.
Portrayal A significant character in the book is Walter Plinge, the Opera House's clumsy and not-too-bright odd-job man. He is, quite possibly, really the suave "Opera Ghost", but is described in terms reminiscent of Frank Spencer, the lead character of the BBC sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. The joke is that this character was played by Michael Crawford, who went on to play the Phantom in the Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical. Walter Plinge is a pseudonym, traditionally used in London theatres. ...
