Phantom of the Opera on Sydney Harbour

The Music of the Night soars across Sydney Harbour. Let the spectacle astound you…

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s global phenomenon returns on its 40th anniversary to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour in a critically acclaimed spectacular. Forty years ago The Phantom of the Opera burst onto the West End, becoming a sensation unlike anything the world had ever seen. Celebrate Phantom’s milestone anniversary in grand style, with the hotly anticipated return of our larger than-life staging on Sydney Harbour.

The story of a mysterious masked man living beneath the Paris Opera House, who falls madly in love with a young singer and employs every devious method to nurture her talents, has enthralled audiences for decades. It’s played to over 160 million people in 58 territories and 205 cities in 21 languages.
The iconic score is studded with hits: from the haunting beauty of ‘The Music of the Night’ and ‘All I Ask of You’ to the splendour of ‘Masquerade’, and the crashing chords of the title song.

Directed by Australia’s master of musical theatre, Simon Phillips, and with audacious costumes and sets by Gabriela Tylesova, this staging brings a whole new level of spectacle to the show’s defining moments – the mirror, the journey to the Phantom’s lair, the chandelier – on an enormous stage built over the water.
With themed pop-up bars and dining, fireworks every night, and a live orchestra hidden beneath the stage, this is an evening you’ll never forget.
