Phantom of the Opera
About
The Phantom of the Opera is the romantic Gothic musical by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber that launched in London's West End in 1986 and on Broadway in 1988, following the obsessive love between Christine Daa©, a gifted soprano, and a mysterious disfigured musical genius haunting the Paris Opera House.
