The Phantom Of The Opera

Rotorua Musical Theatre is excited to present Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom Of The Opera showing in Rotorua, for the First time ever!

Get in quick to secure your tickets and experience the infamous story of The Phantom of the Opera, on for a limited 11 shows over Easter weekend 2024.

The Phantom is a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.

It is 1911 and the contents of the Paris Opera House are being auctioned off. Present are the auctioneer, porters and bidders. Raoul, now seventy years old and in a wheelchair, buys a poster and a music box. As the auctioneer displays the Opera House chandelier, he explains that it is connected with the legend of The Phantom of the Opera. With a flash of light, the audience is flung back in time, when the Paris Opera was at its height.
