Command performance, Christine's singing was second to none, a wonderful operatic, pitch perfect and clear rendition filled with emotion. The phantom was wonderful, rich and deep with a gorgeous balance of anger and unrequited love. Views from row R were great, you could see the cast really well, but the top level was a little obscured by the royal circle above (top tip, sit in the royal circle, or forward from say row L or so in the stalls for the best views). As a fan of the show, it's wonderful to get caught up in some of the best theatrical effects in the business - from the real 'underworld' settings to the bright and colourful carnival - it really is a show worth seeing again!

This was my 3rd or 4th time seeing "Phantom" in the theater. My first viewing was in Los Angeles decades ago and possibly one other time, as well as on Broadway and now London. This was the BEST performance so far. The London cast simply blew this musical away. And it's changed so little over the past 39 years since it first came out, yet it remains captivating and enchanting to this day. Well done by everybody... the performers, the orchestra, and of course all the back stage crew working the lights, the sound, the sets, the flies, etc. You brought the magic and the tragic story to life.

The Phantom of the Opera tells the sad story of a disfigured musical genius who lives hidden under the Paris Opera. Rejected since childhood, he finds comfort only in music and dreams of love. He falls deeply for Christine, but his love is full of loneliness and pain. In the sequel, Love Never Dies, the Phantom lives in America, still longing for Christine. They meet again, but tragedy follows as Christine dies, leaving the Phantom alone with his sorrow. Both musicals show the Phantom’s endless loneliness, unfulfilled love, and tragic fate.

First performed in 1986, Phantom of the Opera in London is the longest-running show in Broadway history and the second-longest-running musical in the West End.

This Tony and Olivier award-winning production has been seen by over 160 million people in 58 countries and even inspired a major film adaptation.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic and haunting score, with lyrics by Charles Hart, features iconic songs like “The Music of the Night,” “Think of Me,” and “All I Ask of You.”

From the dramatic chandelier crash to the candlelit catacombs, fog-covered underground lake, and Maria Björnson’s lavish 19th-century Parisian costumes and gothic set, it’s pure theatrical magic.

Book your tickets to Phantom of the Opera in London’s His Majesty’s Theatre and witness what continues to leave audiences breathless night after night.

The story

Beneath the grand Paris Opera House lurks a shadowy figure, the Phantom, haunting its halls and secretly mentoring the young soprano Christine Daaé. As Christine’s voice soars, so does the Phantom’s obsession, drawing her into a mesmerising yet dangerous world. Torn between her masked maestro and her devoted childhood love, Raoul, Christine’s fate unravels amidst a backdrop of chandeliers, opera, and breathtaking theatrical illusions. Will this mysterious “ghost” seduce Christine, or will she choose to be with Raoul?
