Winner of over 70 prestigious theatre awards, including 3 Olivier Awards, 7 Tony Awards, 7 Drama Desk Awards, and 3 Outer Critics Circle Awards, The Phantom of the Opera has mesmerized audiences in 205 cities across 58 countries, with more than 160 million people experiencing its magic in 21 different languages.

Adapted from Gaston Leroux's classic novel The Phantom of the Opera, this legendary musical unveils a hidden world beneath the grandeur of the Paris Opera House. There, a mysterious phantom—feared for his appearance, revered for his musical genius—falls for the enchanting soprano Christine. Yet, his love becomes a haunting tale of obsession and heartbreak...

Premiering on October 9, 1986, at Her Majesty's Theatre in London ( now His Majesty's Theatre ), starring Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman, The Phantom of the Opera has become a global icon of musical theatre. With Andrew Lloyd Webber's unforgettable score, spectacular set design, and brilliant performances, it has captivated the hearts of over 160 million audience members in 205 cities and claimed over 70 awards worldwide.

Now, the original English production of The Phantom of the Opera arrives in China, proudly presented by SMG Live and the Shanghai Musical Theatre Arts Center ( SMC ), in association with Crossroads Live ( North America ) and The Really Useful Group ( UK ). This version faithfully brings to life the iconic 1986 production originally staged by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group.

The original production of The Phantom of the Opera refers to the classic version directed by Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, and costume and set design by the legendary Maria Björnson.

Each performance features a team of over 130 members—including cast, crew, and a live pit orchestra—to ensure a production of textbook-level quality and grandeur worthy of the Paris Opera House. With more than 230 dazzling costumes and stunning makeup effects—all designed by Maria Björnson—the show transports audiences through 22 scene changes, averaging one every five minutes.
