Phantom of the Opera

Halloween provides the ideal time to soak up the atmosphere at the The Phantom of the Opera theatre show at Her Majesty’s Theatre London.

the show originally opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, the show now plays to millions around the world.

Created by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera is based in the latter part of the nineteenth century when France was rampant with belief in the supernatural and the spirit world and tells of an extraordinary episode in the history of France’s greatest opera house.

With Halloween fast approaching there has never been a better time to go and see this theatrical masterpiece. With regular performances every week, Phantom of the Opera theatre tickets are usually easy enough to book.  For those wanting to make a weekend of it to take in the show and the city of London, there are some great Phantom of the Opera theatre breaks that include tickets to the show and overnight accommodation in a London Hotel.

To date, The Phantom of the Opera is recognised as the most financially successful musical of all time with millions of copies of the original Andrew Lloyd Webber Phantom of the Opera CD and the Theatre version of the soundtrack being sold worldwide. 2004 saw the release of the highly antisipated Phantom of the Opera film, directed by Joel Schumacher.
