Phantom of the Opera

Musical Theater Basel

The world's most popular musical, “Phantom of the Opera,” returns to the Musical Theater Basel after almost 30 years! Andrew Lloyd Webber's most famous musical is also one of the most successful in entertainment history, with over 160 million viewers in 41 countries and 186 cities in 19 languages to date. It is the show that ran the longest on Broadway, celebrated its 35th anniversary there in 2023, and has won more than 70 major theater awards, including seven Tony Awards and four Olivier Awards.
Based on the classic novel “Le Fantôme de L'Opéra” by Gaston Leroux, “Phantom of the Opera” is set in the glorious Paris of the 1930s and tells the story of a musical genius known only as “The Phantom” who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera. The Phantom is fascinated by the talents and beauty of the young soprano Christine. He lures her to him and falls madly in love with her. However, the phantom knows nothing of Christine's love for Raoul, and his obsession is the catalyst for a dramatic development in which jealousy, madness, and passion collide.
With 100 participants including a live orchestra, as well as breathtaking sets, special effects, and more than 230 costumes, the musical features some of Lloyd Webber's most famous and thrilling pieces of music, such as “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Think of Me,” and “Music of the Night.” With over 40 million copies sold worldwide, the original cast recording is the best-selling musical recording of all time.
