What is Phantom of the Opera about?

Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, the Phantom hides in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the Phantom seeks to control the Paris Opera House and its players. The Phantom finds a new student in the form of Christine, an orphaned chorus girl and trains her to sing the music of the night. When a face from her past appears the Phantom must discover if the love he holds for his beautiful student is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.

 

In 1984 Andrew Lloyd Webber was looking to pen a major romance and a reading of Gaston Leroux's classic novel of mystery and suspense, The Phantom of the Opera, provided the substance he was looking for. The musical went through many iterations and lyricists before it became the classic we know and love today. The Phantom of the Opera opened at His Majesty’s Theatre in October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 36th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at His Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End.

The Phantom of the Opera story has spawned many retellings including multiple film adaptations. The most recent of which came out in 2004 and starred Scottish actor Gerard Butler.

 

Lloyd Webber's romantic musical is based on Gaston Leroux's gothic novel of life beneath the stage of the Paris Opera House. A mysterious masked man falls in love with Christine, a singer who inspires The Music of the Night. As the curtain rises, you’ll see the infamous replica of the Paris Opera House chandelier that weighs 1 ton! You’ll be introduced to the legend of the Phantom of the Opera by the auctioneer, as you meet the Phantom who is becoming fond of new chorus performer Christine Daaé. When the Phantom throws Christine into an underground lair to keep her for himself, you’ll begin to realise that the Phantom is a frenetic character. When the Phantom demands Christine stay with him instead of going with her childhood friend Raoul, arguments fly around the Paris Opera House and the price of stardom is heavy.

 

Seen by over 140 million people around the world, The Phantom of the Opera  has broken the barriers of theatre to become one of the greatest cultural references ever. Enticing audiences into Her Majesty’s Theatre since 1986, it’s a show with lavish costumes, rich operatic voices and gorgeous scenery including a boat ride that takes place on stage! In the show, you’ll be able to find out what lurks beneath the Phantom’s white mask.
