The Phantom of the Opera

For over 30 years, The Phantom of the Opera has wowed the West End with it’s tale of dark romance, jealousy and murder. The production features stunning sets, glittering gowns and the most beautiful chandelier you’ve ever seen in a theatre.

Set in the Opéra Populaire, Christine Daaé is a young singer who’s 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 of the opera, the Phantom begins to reveal himself, but his passion for her puts Christine, and her fiancée Raoul, in grave danger. From his subterranean lair, the Phantom plots to tear the two apart and destroy everything they love if Christine does not submit to him.
