I finally got to see *Phantom of the Opera* on the West End, and it genuinely lived up to everything people say about it. Walking into the theatre already felt special, but once the music started, it completely pulled me in. The chandelier moment was just as dramatic as everyone hypes it up to be, and the set design made everything feel immersive without being over the top. What stood out most was how emotional it felt live — you could really feel the tension between the characters in a way that recordings don’t quite capture. The Phantom himself was intense but also surprisingly vulnerable. It’s one of those shows where you forget you’re sitting in a theatre and just get absorbed into the story. Definitely worth seeing at least once.

*The Phantom of the Opera* is a classic in the world of musical theater. The music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber is simply magnificent. Moreover, the singers are sublime. What voices! Special mention goes to the actor playing the Phantom (Dean Chisnall). A deep, rich voice, mastering both forte and pianissimo, paired with excellent acting. Christine (Beatrice Penny-Touré) was vocally a notch below, but her acting was top-notch. Everyone else was perfect. This performance will stay with me forever.

The performance I attended last week was unforgettable. The actress playing Christine had an astounding voice, the orchestra was excellent, and the set and choreography were mesmerizing. But I'm especially grateful to the fantastic staff who allowed me to slip into my seat although I had missed the start time by about 10 minutes. My Apple Maps had gotten me turned around, and I was so sure I was going to miss the play entirely. Seeing Phantom was a highlight of my London visit, and you made my evening.

Really loved the show. As someone who is still quite new to theatre and musicals, I was completely swept away by the whole experience. The characters, the performances, the costumes, the atmosphere — everything felt magical from beginning to end. And the chandelier… wow. You’ll know exactly what I mean when you see it.

The seat E28 for watching The Phantom of the Opera was overall great. The view was very good, though a small part of the right side of the stage was slightly obstructed unless you leaned forward a bit. Despite that, the €90 price was absolutely worth it for the ticket, the seat, and especially the amazing show!

It’s a beautiful show; the music, sets, and costumes are all stunning. The only minor flaw (which the director should be made aware of): in the mirror scene, from my seat in the stalls (J13), the conductor was also reflected in the mirror… which takes away a lot of the magic of the ghost’s appearance.

First performed in 1986, Phantom of the Opera in London is the longest-running show in Broadway history and the second-longest-running musical in the West End.

This Tony and Olivier award-winning production has been seen by over 160 million people in 58 countries and even inspired a major film adaptation.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic and haunting score, with lyrics by Charles Hart, features iconic songs like “The Music of the Night,” “Think of Me,” and “All I Ask of You.”

From the dramatic chandelier crash to the candlelit catacombs, fog-covered underground lake, and Maria Björnson’s lavish 19th-century Parisian costumes and gothic set, it’s pure theatrical magic.

Book your tickets to Phantom of the Opera in London’s His Majesty’s Theatre and witness what continues to leave audiences breathless night after night.

The story

Beneath the grand Paris Opera House lurks a shadowy figure, the Phantom, haunting its halls and secretly mentoring the young soprano Christine Daaé. As Christine’s voice soars, so does the Phantom’s obsession, drawing her into a mesmerising yet dangerous world. Torn between her masked maestro and her devoted childhood love, Raoul, Christine’s fate unravels amidst a backdrop of chandeliers, opera, and breathtaking theatrical illusions. Will this mysterious “ghost” seduce Christine, or will she choose to be with Raoul?
