The Phantom of the Opera

San Jose Center for the Performing Arts
255 Almaden Blvd. San Jose

Cameron Mackintosh's awe-inspiring production of The Phantom of the Opera brings the dramatic doomed love triangle to the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. Described by critics as bigger and better than ever before, the latest edition of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical masterpiece offers bold new staging that showcases original costumes, updated choreography and exciting special effects (including the legendary chandelier drop) -- not to mention a soaring score filled with memorable songs like "Masquerade," "The Music of the Night" and "All I Ask of You." At its core, though, it's a timeless and tragic love story about a mysterious masked man living beneath the majestic Paris Opera House who becomes obsessed with a beautiful opera singer. The Phantom of the Opera has won more than 50 major theater awards, including the Tony for Best Musical, and with a cast and orchestra of 52, this current spectacular is one of the largest musical productions currently on tour anywhere.
