The story is based upon the novel written by Gaston Leroux and focuses on the masked and facially deformed Phantom who haunts the world’s most famous opera house. The Phantom causes murder and mayhem in an attempt to force the management to make the woman he loves a star.

This performance features thrilling new music and a breathtaking live performance that meld with the beauty of the original silent film.

Vox Lumiere has won five first-round Grammy nominations, two 21st Century Filmmaker Awards and was nationally televised in a PBS special.
