The Phantom of the Opera

The big tour production returns with a top-class star cast and a completely new musical arrangement.

A real musical highlight!

After the outstanding success of the last tours, the production was awarded the Golden Sun 2023 for Best Musical by Sonnenklar TV due to the quality of the actors, the music and the spectacular stage design.World star Deborah Sasson could be won over once again for the role of Christine. Audiences and the press everywhere are celebrating the singer's  interplay with Germany's number one musical star, Uwe Kroeger,  who will once again take on the role of the Phantom.

Since 2010, "The Phantom of the Opera" by the writing team of Deborah Sasson and Jochen Sautter has been captivating audiences on the stages of Europe. The forced break due to the coronavirus pandemic was used creatively to completely revamp the production musically. The successful British musician Ryan Martin, who has composed and arranged music for Cirque du Soleil, America's Got Talent, Netflix, BBC, ABC, CBS and Fox USA, among others, was recruited for this.

The impressive stage design lives from the effective, three-dimensional video projections by internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Daniel Stryjecki as well as from the grandiose stage elements, built by Michael Scott of the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

This new production, which was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the novel "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" written by Gaston Leroux in 1910, is one of the most successful touring musicals in Europe. The production sets itself apart from all previous musical interpretations of the literary material by sticking closer to the original novel and incorporating well-known opera quotations in parts of the music composed by Sasson.

The role of Christine is interpreted by the internationally acclaimed Boston soprano and Echo Klassik prizewinner Deborah Sasson. Her multi-faceted and powerful voice is perfect for this mixture of opera and musical. The Phantom is played by Uwe Kröger , who has captured the hearts of audiences since his breakthrough in the role of Death in the world premiere of Elisabeth. He has played the leading roles in the world premieres of Rebecca, Mozart, The Visit of the Old Lady, Heidi and in the German-language premieres of Sunset Boulevard, Miss Saigon, Doctor Dolittle, The Addams Family and Napoleon at London's West End. Now, in this production, he slips into the role of the Phantom, feared by the world and torn apart inside.

In addition, a large ensemble of selected singers, dancers and actors from German-speaking countries will be taking part.
