One-year anniversary & 300th performance of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

On March 15, 2024, Cameron Mackintosh's spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical masterpiece THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA celebrated its brilliant premiere at the Raimund Theater. Since then, the play about the mystical phantom and his great love for the young singer Christine Daaé has been thrilling audiences every night and providing magical moments, great emotions and pure goosebumps!

On Saturday, March 15, 2025, the production celebrated its first anniversary, followed by the 300th performance on Sunday. A great success for the cast and the entire production team. 

Due to its great success, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has been extended by one season and can be seen at the Raimund Theater until June 2026.
