The Phantom of the Opera Tickets

The Phantom of the Opera is a Tony Award-winning musical. It was designed to be visually stunning and musically superior, from the opening scene that involves a chandelier crashing to the floor to the gondola gliding across the water. The Phantom of the Opera is based on a novel written by Gaston Leroux in 1910. It tells the tale of a deformed phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, scaring performers and audience members alike. When a young singer named Christine comes to the opera house with her beautiful soprano octave, the Phantom falls in love with her and coaches her under the guise of her "Angel of Music" to make her singing even better. As he spends time with Christine, he becomes torn between two sides of himself – one that wants love and one that prefers hate.
