| Description |
Overseen by Cameron Mackintosh and Matthew Bourne, the "simply epic" new staging includes many special effects, from the famous chandelier to the underground lake, and a large cast and orchestra.
The Phantom haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House. He's man and mystery, a deformed genius. And in Christine Daae, she's found his angel of music: the young woman he would make a star. But how many lives will he sacrifice to make the music of the night? |
