Luxor Theatre Rotterdam and MediaLane Theatre are partnering to bring exclusive major musical titles to Rotterdam. The arrival of Phantom of the Opera will put Rotterdam on the map as a musical city. Director Marc van Kaam: "A global musical sensation is coming to the metropolis of Rotterdam, I can't think of a better combination."

Based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, Phantom of the Opera tells the gripping story of Christine Daaé, a young soprano whose extraordinary voice enchants a mysterious masked figure known as The Phantom. This brilliant but tormented musical genius lives in the catacombs of the Paris opera house, sowing fear among everyone who lives and works there. Attracted by Christine's sensational talent, The Phantom becomes her mentor. He believes that only she can truly bring his music to life. As he guides her from the shadows, he falls in love with her.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and spectacular musicals in the world. Since 1986, the musical has become a global phenomenon, with productions attended by 160 million people in 217 cities, 52 countries and in 23 languages.
