Set on the stage of the Paris Opera in 1905, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical masterpiece The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a devious masked figure who lives in the Opera House and falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, who he wants for his own. Phantom took its final bow in April 2023 – after 35 years, nearly 14,000 performances, and audiences of over 20 million, creating the opportunity for community, professional, and regional theater companies to apply for the rights. (Prior to the Broadway close, licensing was available only to affiliated high schools).
