The Phantom of the Opera is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running romantic musical about a mysterious masked figure who haunts the Paris Opéra and becomes obsessed with a young soprano. This touring production is presented at the San Diego Civic Theatre in downtown San Diego, a major performing-arts venue and home to large-scale operatic and musical theatre presentations. The show is notable for its sweeping score, lavish sets and costumes, and dramatic staging that have made it one of the best-known musicals worldwide.
