The much-anticipated production opened at the Sydney Opera House in August 2022 and Arts Centre Melbourne in October 2022.
This exciting new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA broke box office history at the Opera House when tickets went on sale in 2021.
Hit after hit punctuates the thrilling score, from the stunning romance of “Music of the Night”, “Think of Me” and “All I Ask of You” to the splendid “Masquerade” and brilliant title song. Now, you can hear them all in a spectacular new production that has stunned critics across the United Kingdom and North America. It features a new direction by Laurence Connor, brand new scenic design by Paul Brown, lighting design by Tony Award®-winner Paule Constable, sound design by Mick Potter, new choreography by Scott Ambler and the original, Tony Award-winning costume design by Maria Björnson.
Overseen by Cameron Mackintosh & Matthew Bourne, the “simply epic” new staging includes many special effects, from the famous chandelier to the underground lake, and a large cast and orchestra. It’s “bigger and better than ever before” (Yorkshire Post) and “stunning, intense and spectacular” (Sunday Express).
The Phantom of the Opera haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House. He’s man and mystery, a deformed genius. And in Christine Daae, he’s found his angel of music: the young woman he would make a star. But how many lives will he sacrifice to make the music of the night?
The Phantom of the Opera is produced by Opera Australia and The Really Useful Group in association with Cameron Mackintosh. Michael Cassel is Executive Producer for Cameron Mackintosh Limited and The Really Useful Group.
