The stage of the Paris Opéra, 1911:
“Lot 666, then; a chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of The Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully explained.”

The original London production had its first preview on 27th September 1986, and officially premiered the following month on 9th October.
It played for 34 years, closing in 2020. It was replaced by a down-scaled version in July 2021.

Thinking fondly of the greatly missed Steve Barton.
Barton originated ‘Raoul’ in London (1986) and on Broadway (1988). He understudied ‘The Phantom’ in London ‘86, before playing the role on Broadway (1990), with Rebecca Luker as ‘Christine’.
