"Lloyd Webber's epic tearjerker is back in all its kitsch, gothic glory."
More than 160 million people in 195 cities around the world have fallen under the spell of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic, haunting and spectacular masterpiece. The longest-running show in West End history, The Phantom of the Opera continues to enthral audiences at the magnificent His Majesty’s Theatre, its home since 1986.
Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, the story unfolds beneath the Paris Opéra House, where a disfigured musical genius known only as the Phantom haunts the chandelier-lit auditorium. Mesmerised by the talent and beauty of the young soprano Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégée and falls fiercely, obsessively in love with her - setting in motion a tale of seduction, jealousy and tragedy.
With its lavish sets and costumes, a cast and orchestra of superb scale, and one of the most beloved scores ever written - including “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You” and the unforgettable title song - The Phantom of the Opera is a breathtaking spectacle that has defined musical theatre for a generation.
