The Phantom of the Opera

The 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, and book The Phantom of the Opera tickets on TodayTix.

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?

The Phantom of the Opera London is now a reworked update of the original production. A new set was brought into Her Majesty’s Theatre in 2021, bringing the action further into the audience and immersing audiences in the Paris Opera House. Sit in the first few rows and you’ll feel as if you’re the next budding soprano to take centre stage.

Even though the show is based on Gaston Leroux’s novel of the same name, the Phantom musical popularised the story. You can see Phantom worldwide, but there’s nothing quite like watching the musical at its first home. Witness musical theatre’s tragic love triangle for yourself.

What to Watch For:

• 6,000 beads, with 35 beads to an individual string, make up the iconic chandelier featured in The Phantom of the Opera. At a whopping three metres wide, and with a weight of one ton, it’s not exactly one for your living room.
• It takes 130 people to put on a performance of The Phantom of the Opera in London. That includes the cast, creatives and backstage crew. Included in this team are 14 dressers who manage the 230 costumes in the show. They're in charge of everything from ballet shoes to ballgowns.
• Creating the eerie effects in the Phantom's lair in The Phantom of the Opera requires a lot of effort. Each performance uses 50 kg of dry ice and 10 fog and smoke machines to capture the haunting atmosphere.
