The Phantom of the Opera

And in this labyrinth, where night is blind, The Phantom of the Opera is here, inside your mind…

This timeless story of passion and obsession is one of the world’s most successful entertainment events in history, translated into 17 different languages and produced in 41 countries around the world. Now, after celebrating its 35th anniversary on the West End, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s astonishing spectacular is back at its inaugural home, His Majesty’s Theatre London.

“The staging has never looked more spectacular.” — the Sunday Express.

The Phantom of the Opera London

Phantom is currently the second longest-running musical on the West End after Les Mis and was voted “The Best West End Musical of All Time” in a 2020 survey by the Independent. The show’s London iteration has won four Olivier Awards as well as the Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.

Internationally, The Phantom of the Opera has also received seven Drama Desk Awards, six Tony Awards, and five Outer Critics Circle Awards.

The most recent version of The Phantom of the Opera in London has been described by Douglas Mayo of British Theatre as “the closest I’ve seen it to perfect in many years”. Retaining all the charm and spectacle of previous performances, director Seth Sklar-Heyn brings warmth and humour to proceedings at His Majesty’s Theatre — giving the show dynamic new depths.

The enduring tale remains the same, however; the shunned and tortured composer dwelling somewhere between dreams and a candle-lit lair deep beneath the Paris Opera House; the mysterious new ingenue, Christine, who accepts a dangerous gift from the “Angel of Music”; and the handsome young Vicomte whose love for Christine could spell both their downfall and the downfall of the entire Opera House itself.

Throughout, Charles Hart’s unforgettable Phantom of the Opera lyrics endure. The cast breathes fresh life into world-famous hits like Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, and Masquerade.
