Experience Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Classic

Known as the longest-running show in Broadway history, The Phantom of the Opera has found success on both the West End and Broadway. The opera is based on the 1910 French novel by Gaston Leroux, sharing the tale of a beautiful soprano who becomes the object of obsession of a mysterious masked man living beneath the Paris Opera House.

Lloyd Webber’s musical score for The Phantom of the Opera is hailed as one of the highest-selling cast albums of all time with pieces like “The Music of the Night” and “All I Ask of You.”

For the upcoming Opera Australia production, Australian talents director Simon Phillips and designer Gabriela Tylesova will take the helm. And with the show set on a floating stage, this is definitely a must-see performance for theatre lovers in Australia.
