The Phantom of the Opera

A new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical “The Phantom of the Opera” at the Raimund Theater: The musical recounts a great story of love in the catacombs under the Paris Opera. This will be the first performance of this version in any German-speaking country!

Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of The Phantom of the Opera has already completely sold out in the UK, the USA and Australia, where it was performed at the prestigious Sydney Opera House. Now the production will enrich Vienna’s musical scene too.

Everyone has heard of this thrilling yet mysterious story. The spooky catacombs under the Paris Opera are haunted by a phantom, whose heart is set on the young singer, Christine Daaé.
