Synopsis

THE BRILLIANT ORIGINAL RETURNS MORE SPECTACULAR THAN EVER Sunday Express

The Phantom is back to thrill audiences once again! Cameron Mackintosh presents a revitalized new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber s legendary musical, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which was rapturously received by London critics when it reopened in 2021. Featuring Maria Bj rnson s brilliant original design and based on the celebrated direction of Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, PHANTOM s new multi-year North American tour will make its premiere at the Civic Theatre September 2-13, 2026 as part of Broadway San Diego s 26-27 Season.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history, playing to over 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities in 21 languages. Andrew Lloyd Webber s romantic, haunting, and soaring score includes The Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Masquerade, and the iconic title song. It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as The Phantom who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerized by the talents and beauty of a young soprano, Christine, The Phantom lures her as his prot g and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine s love for Raoul, The Phantom s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness, and passions collide.
