About The Phantom of the Opera

Hear the music of the night at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s timeless musical. Be inspired by the West End classic, and get tickets to The Phantom of the Opera on Box Office today.

Even though the musical opened in the 1980s, the show still sets a gold standard for theatre. London Theatre praised its quality: “There's no question that it's still wild, it's still joyous, and it's still deserved of its place as the pride of the West End.”

The Phantom of the Opera is unmissable. From its iconic songs like “All I Ask of You” and “Wishing,” to vibrant ballet dances, a real boat sailing onto stage, and a one-ton chandelier in the auditorium, Phantom is a musical spectacle to remember.

Set in the heart of Paris Opera House, the musical follows young soprano and dancer Christine Daae as two men compete for her affection: Raoul, her past love, and the Phantom, who lives deep in the opera house’s underground lair. As the Phantom takes Christine for himself, can she convince the Phantom to change?

The Phantom has always been in your mind. Now, see the Phantom in real life, and book tickets to The Phantom of the Opera on Box Office.
