THE SOUTHERN OPERA AND MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY PRODUCTION OF

MUSIC BY ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER LYRICS BY CHARLES HART The University of Southern Mississippi School of Music presents another epic production from the team that produced the much-acclaimed Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera will take to the stage of the Mannoni Performing Arts Center Auditorium in Fall 2017.

Directed by Dr. Mike Lopinto with music direction by Dr. Jay Dean and Dr. Michael Miles, the production will feature a cast of talented music, theater and dance students from Southern Miss and the venerable Symphony Orchestra in an elaborate spectacle that showcases both.

Phantom of the Opera is the most iconic and longest running show on Broadway.

Produced through special arrangement with Rodger and Hammerstein Theatricals, it tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command. Its sensational score includes “Think of Me,” “Angel of Music,” “Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” “Masquerade” and the title song.
