[B]Adelaide embraces Phantom
More than $1 million in box office sales in the first week
Adelaide audiences have embraced THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, with bookings for the popular show exceeding $1million in the first week on sale. Counter bookings opened for the Adelaide season of the show on 17th November.
With a stellar Australian cast of 32 performers, including Anthony Warlow as the Phantom, Ana Marina as Christine and Alexander Lewis as Raoul, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA returns to Adelaide after an absence of thirteen years for strictly limited season from 3rd May 2009, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
More than 80 million people around the world have seen Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece. This Australian production, which had its one-year anniversary a few months ago, has sold an astounding 820,000 tickets.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA recently celebrated 22 years on Broadway and has won more than 50 major theatre awards, including seven Tony Awards.
The sensational sets for the Australian and South East Asia productions of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA were originally built in Adelaide and are still maintained by the Adelaide Festival Centre Workshops.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of a disfigured musical genius known only as 'The Phantom' who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of a young soprano - Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine's love for Raoul, The Phantom's obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealously, madness and passions collide.
With spectacular sets and more than 230 costumes by international designer, the late Maria Björnson, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA contains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most famous music, including 'The Phantom of the Opera' and 'Music of the Night'.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical is based upon the novel Le Fantome De L'Opera by Gaston Leroux. Original London production by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is presented in New Zealand by The Really Useful Company Asia Pacific and The Gordon/Frost Organisation.
Tickets for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA may be purchased through Ticketek. on 132 849 or on line at ticketek.com.au
Over 65,000 new seats will go on sale 9am Monday 21 July as The Phantom of the Opera gets ready to leave Sydney.
"The Sydney audiences have been fantastic," said co-producer Tim McFarlane. "Our limited season has been very well received and certainly sales reflect this.”
John Frost, co-producer said "We are half way through our tour and the production is set to open in New Zealand on October 14. Sydney will need to get in quick to not miss out."
The Phantom of the Opera opened in Sydney May 15 and is currently playing The Lyric Theatre, Star City.
The Phantom of the Opera is the longest running musical on Broadway, having recently celebrated 21 years since its debut in London’s West End, and has won more than 50 major theatre awards, including seven Tony Awards. It’s been 11 years since the musical was last performed in Sydney.
