The Phantom of the Opera
INCLUDED Visitor DestinationThe Phantom of the Opera is here, inside your mind. Revel in the haunting beauty of the Paris Opera House in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s world-famous musical.Since The Phantom of the Opera premiered in 1986, the musical continues to wow West End audiences with its tale of dark romance, jealousy, and murder. As well as the most beautiful chandelier you’ll see, the production features stunning sets and glittering gowns, all bringing 1900s Paris to life.
Listen to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stunning Phantom score, including “All I Ask,” “Think of Me,” and “Masquerade,” performed by a 14-piece orchestra. London Theatre raved about the classic, saying “there's no question that it's still wild, it's still joyous, and it deserves its place as the pride of the West End.”
Set in the Opéra Populaire, Christine Daaé is a young singer who is suddenly thrust into the spotlight of a troubled production. Her stunning voice is the result of her secretive teacher, the mysterious Phantom, who lives deep beneath the building. As Christine takes on the lead role in the opera, the Phantom begins to reveal himself. The Phantom's passion for her puts Christine, and her fiancée Raoul, in grave danger. Should Christine be wary of the music of the night?
