Establishing its home in Her Majesty’s Theatre in London is one of the most essential productions for any lover of musicals. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, written by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe and directed by Harold Prince, The Phantom of the Opera has been running for over 30 years and has become one of the longest running musicals in the world - the longest in Broadway and second longest in the West End. Acclaimed both by audiences and critics alike, this musical has won 70 of the theatre world’s most important awards. Are you going to miss a musical that 140 million people around the world have already seen?
Based on the novel of the same name by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a mysterious man who lives in underground chambers beneath the Opera of Paris, terrorising anyone who dares go on stage. This situation completely changes when Christine, a young actress, arrives at the theatre to substitute the company’s star actress. The Phantom falls in love with her instantly but he will soon realize that her heart belongs to another man.
Before booking your tickets, be aware that seats located at the sides of the Grand Circle may have reduced visibility, as may those in the last row of the Royal Circle. You may find that seats in the Balcony have reduced legroom.
Ticket prices for The Phantom of the Opera range from £25 in seats with a partially obstructed view of the stage, in the Balcony, to £175 for premium seats in the middle of the Stalls.
Due to the theatre’s pillars, great discounts are available in every floor in the theatre for reduced visibility seats, but you can easily position yourself in a way that allows you to see all of the stage without restrictions. The seats with the best value for money are in the Grand Circle, because despite being rather far from the stage, the first rows of this level offer a perfect panoramic view their price is the same as the worst seats in the Stalls.
Every Thursday, from 10am, tickets for that same day’s matinee performance go on sale at the theatre’s box office for only £25. There is a limited number of tickets at that price for each day, and you will have to go to the box office in person to get them. Bear in mind that, the theatre’s policy means that only one ticket per person can be purchased with this promotion.
Welcome to one of the oldest theatres in London. Although since 1705 four different theatres have stood on the site it now occupies, the theatre as we know it today was built in 1897 by Herbert Beerbohm Tree. A historic venue that has been home to some of the greatest milestones of musical theatre such as Paint Your Wagon in 1953 or West Side Story in 1958. Fiddler on the Roof was staged here also and, since 1986 and to the present day, The Phantom of the Opera.
The venue has a capacity for 1167 people distributed over four floors: 459 in the Stalls, 281 in the Royal Circle, 324 in the Grand Circle and 103 in the Balcony.
