The Phantom of the Operaverified
The Auditorio de Tenerife hosts the national tour of The Phantom of the Opera, a Letsgo production with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and direction by Federico Bellone. The performance on Saturday 2 January at 17:00 opens the double bill of that Saturday. The musical is performed in Spanish, lasts 2 hours 30 minutes with an interval, admission is for those aged over five, and tickets start at 54 euros.
There are two performances on Saturday 2 January, and this 17:00 one opens the day. The Letsgo production reaches Tenerife after two seasons in Madrid, and the cast is to be announced. The music is by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Charles Hart and additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, based on the novel by Gaston Leroux.
The story follows a musical genius who lives hidden in the depths of a theatre and Christine, a young woman with a celestial voice who discovers the terror behind his mask. Federico Bellone's staging is built around a giant broken mirror that serves as the curtain and reveals the proscenium of a Paris opera house. Admission is only for those aged over five, and smoke machines and strobe lighting are used at some points.
