The Paris Opera, 1881...

Hidden in the tunnels deep below the Paris Opera resides a deformed musical genius who stalks the halls and terrorizes the company from the rafters. With his half-covered by his famous white mask, his only happiness comes from tutoring the beautiful, orphaned chorus girl Christine Daae, with whom he has an enduring obsession. Unseen, he teaches the young ingenue to sing 'The Music of the Night.' As her 'Angel of Music', Christine blossoms and steps out of the chorus line onto center stage.

When Christine becomes engaged to another man, the Phantom is driven wild with jealousy and will stop at nothing to have her for himself, even resorting to murder. And so begins a tantalizing tale of forbidden love and supernatural adventure so exciting that over 130 million people worldwide have lost their hearts and minds to the drama.

Did You Know?

To achieve the spooky atmosphere of the Phantom's underground lair, the crew use more than 500lbs of dry ice and 10 fog and smoke machines at every performance. Brrrrrr!

Phantom of the Opera, May 9, 2018

I have seen the Phantom of the Opera twice before at our beautiful Fox Theater. Both times were superb. But, last night's performance (advertised as bigger and better) blew me away! The voices were phenomenal! Every single character had exceptional voices! The scenery and costumes were breathtaking! And the orchestra and organist hit every note perfectly! I was so moved when I left that I couldn't even talk. Even today the gorgeous songs keep going through my head. This performance raised the bar extremely high. Bravo to the entire ensemble! ...

The best staging and sets ever!!!

I'm shocked reading the terrible reviews others have posted, as I absolutely LOVED this production! Everything was wonderful, from acting to singing to dancing to costume design to direction, staging, and set design! We sat at the back right of the orchestra in row DD and DID understand what they were saying. My whole family (including an 8 year old boy who adored it) left feeling so glad to have been able a show of this caliber in San Antonio. I could not have been happier with our experience. ...
