The Phantom of the Opera

Based on a 1910 novel by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius who haunts the Paris Opera House.

Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of the young soprano Christine Daaé, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. When Christine’s childhood sweetheart comes back into her life, the Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide.

Crashing chords, luscious melodies, soaring high notes – Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score is dizzyingly intoxicating. It’s packed with songs famous the world over, including the Phantom’s seductive solo The Music of the Night, Christine and Raoul’s All I Ask of You, Masquerade and the title song, with its thundering chromatic chords.
