Things to Know Before You Go
Is The Phantom of the Opera suitable for children?
The show is generally recommended for older children and teenagers. It contains some dark themes, moments of threat and loud effects that may be unsettling for younger theatregoers.
How long does The Phantom of the Opera last?
The performance usually runs for around two hours and thirty minutes, including one interval.
Where is The Phantom of the Opera playing in London?
The Phantom of the Opera is performed at His Majesty's Theatre on Haymarket, close to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square.
Do I need to know the story before I go?
No. The production tells the story clearly through music and staging, so you can enjoy it without having seen the film or read the original novel.
Is the show very frightening?
The atmosphere is gothic rather than horrific. There are a few sudden moments, including the famous chandelier scene, but most of the tension comes from music and mood rather than graphic scenes.
Is there a dress code at His Majesty's Theatre?
There is no formal dress code. Smart-casual clothing is typical, though many people enjoy dressing up a little for such a classic West End night out.
About this show
Descend beneath the chandelier of His Majesty's Theatre and step into the haunted world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. In this iconic West End production, a mysterious musical genius falls hopelessly in love with a young soprano, drawing her into a web of passion, jealousy and dangerous obsession. Soaring melodies, candlelit corridors and jaw-dropping staging combine to create a gothic romance that feels both intimate and spectacular. From 'The Music of the Night' to 'All I Ask of You', every number is performed by a full orchestra and company at the very top of their game. Whether you are revisiting a favourite or discovering it for the first time, The Phantom of the Opera remains one of London's most atmospheric nights out, a classic that still sends shivers down the spine.
