London boasts over 200 theaters and hosts numerous musicals regularly, and one experience that should not be missed on your London bucket list is watching The Phantom of the Opera. While I haven’t attended many musicals or theaters myself, I can still provide a brief description of this musical from a musical beginner’s perspective.
The Phantom of the Opera is performed at His Majesty’s Theatre in Haymarket, London, which is conveniently located near Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. The show runs from Mondays to Saturdays at 7:30 pm, with additional matinee shows on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2:30 pm. It is recommended to book tickets in advance, but spontaneous ticket purchases on the same day are also possible.
This musical offers a visual spectacle with its dazzling sets and captivating performances. It is set in the Paris Opera House and follows the story of the Phantom, a mysterious figure who becomes obsessed with a young singer named Christine. Their unfolding relationship leads to a series of dramatic events. Even as a musical beginner, you can appreciate the enchanting storyline, memorable music, and the talented actors who bring the characters to life.
