Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-breaking
masterpiece, “The Phantom of the Opera” comes to the Albury
Entertainment Centre 14-22 May. Phantom’s legendary score still delivers
the most powerful emotional impact of any major musical, which has made
it by far the longest-running show in Broadway history.
Based on the 1910 horror novel by Gaston
Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera is a thrilling and romantic account of
the legendary Phantom, a musical genius who dwells deep beneath the
Paris Opera House. Shunned by society for his horrible facial deformity,
the lonely Phantom takes a gorgeous young soprano, Christine, under his
wing and grooms her for operatic fame, all the while falling deeply in
love with her. As Christine’s star begins to rise, and a handsome young
man from her past begins to successfully court her, the Phantom descends
into a jealous rage and terrorises the opera company with increasingly
dangerous threats, culminating in an unparalleled musical and emotional
climax.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score soars with such
acclaimed songs as “Think of Me,” “All I Ask of You,” “The Music of the
Night,” “Masquerade”, “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again”, “Angel of
Music”, and the title song, “The Phantom of the Opera.” Phantom has gone
on to become a cultural tour de force and the most successful single
entertainment event in history.
Is Phantom a good show to take the
kids to?
Phantom is suitable for children with
parental guidance recommended. However, Phantom does feature grand opera
and lush romance, and old-fashioned scare moments throughout—a corpse
plunging from a noose, shrieking-for-their-lives ballerinas, not to
mention the Phantom’s disfigured face. Such sights will either send your
kid burying their face in your arm or thinking it’s the coolest show
they’ve seen!
