Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as the Phantom who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Captivated by the talent and beauty of a young soprano, Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. But of course, Christine is in love with someone else—Raoul—and the scene is set for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide. And we are all fascinated by such tropes.

It’s not easy capturing lightning in a bottle, but somehow producers of The Phantom of the Opera around the world have made sure the staging of this classic is the same everywhere else as it has been on Broadway.
“Phantom is undoubtedly a musical masterpiece. We are very excited to be able to bring the show back to Manila for its many faithful fans, as well as for those who have never had the chance to see this legendary show,” said James Cundall, the Chief Executive Officer of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and producers of the Asian tour of the production, which also visits Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

No other composer can boast of the kind of success that Lloyd Webber has had. Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Twilight Express, Cats, and a host of other well-loved theater classics benefited from the brilliant scoring of Lloyd Webber. He is regarded as the most commercially successful composer in history. And we are still humming his songs to this day.
Don’t miss the staging of The Phantom of the Opera in the Philippines, and see what the fuss is all about.
