Experience the thrill of London’s greatest love story
With iconic moments such as the falling of the chandelier and stunning musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is the ultimate theatrical experience.
Widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history, the show has played to over 160 million people in 46 territories and 195 cities in 21 languages. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic and soaring score includes ‘Music of the Night’, ‘All I Ask Of You’, ‘Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again’, ‘Masquerade’ and the iconic title song.
It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of a young soprano – Christine, the Phantom makes her his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her.
