About The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera is a musical set beneath the Paris Opera House, where the Phantom lives in a shadowy existence and his love for Christine Daaé drives the story. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score, scenery and special effects are part of the production’s appeal.

It first opened at His Majesty’s Theatre on Thursday 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles. Since then, it has become one of the highest-grossing musicals of all time, winning 70 major theatre awards and being seen by over 140 million people worldwide.

Running time is 2 hours and 30 minutes including one interval. Performances are Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, and Saturday at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
