Staging was incredible. Depth of the stage. Incredible leads with a rich chocolate pureness to the phantoms voice. Christine was likeable and lovely, and the tonality of Lloyd Webbers writing with Stilgoes witty lyrics and genius. Loved it

Even before the show, the room was buzzing with excitement. And the cast did not disappoint, on the contrary: the show was breathtaking! And in the end, the excitement seemed to be even bigger, and nobody wanted to leave.

This was a spectacular show! The vocal talent, the drama, the amazing sets. Truly unforgettable! My 85-year-old father made it to the Too of the 64 steps with some difficulty. But it was worth the climb. Highly recommend!

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?
