The much-anticipated return of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical “The Phantom of the Opera” to Dubai has been announced. The critically acclaimed show is set to run from February 22 to March 10, 2024, at the Dubai Opera, and tickets are now available for purchase.
The Phantom of the Opera, based on the novel by French journalist and mystery writer Gaston Leroux, is a captivating tale of a disfigured musical genius who haunts the Paris Opera House.
The phantom becomes infatuated with a young soprano, Christine, whom he mentors. However, his love turns into jealous madness when he learns of Christine’s romantic involvement with Raoul, the opera’s patron.
The show is renowned for its grandeur and drama, featuring spectacular operatic numbers, a full corps de ballet, and a dramatic unmasking of the phantom. One of the most memorable scenes includes a crashing chandelier, making the performance as overblown and dramatic as its title suggests.
Ticket prices range from Dhs275 for grand circle silver, Dhs450 for royal circle gold, Dhs650 for royal circle platinum, and Dhs850 for VIP. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets promptly to avoid disappointment, as the show’s previous run in Dubai in 2019 was met with great enthusiasm.
In addition to The Phantom of the Opera, Dubai Opera has unveiled a new season of performances designed to excite, inspire, and evoke emotion. The lineup includes classics such as Swan Lake, Macbeth, and Madama Butterfly, among others.
The return of The Phantom of the Opera is expected to once again captivate the hearts of Dubai’s residents and visitors alike, offering an unforgettable theatrical experience.
