The big tour production with a top-class star cast. A real musical highlight!

Since 2010, "The Phantom of the Opera" by the writing team of Deborah Sasson and Jochen Sautter has been captivating audiences on the stages of Europe. The production was awarded the Golden Sun 2023 as best musical for the outstanding quality of the performers, the music and the spectacular stage design. The major touring production with Deborah Sasson and Uwe Kröger returns to Austria in 2026. Audiences and the press everywhere are celebrating the interplay between the singer and Germany's number one musical star, who will once again slip into the role of the Phantom.

The impressive stage design is brought to life both by the effective, three-dimensional video projections by the celebrated multimedia artist Daniel Stryjecki and by the grandiose stage elements built by Michael Scott of the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

This new production, which was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the novel "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" written by Gaston Leroux in 1910, is one of the most successful touring musicals in Europe. The production sets itself apart from all previous musical interpretations of the literary material by sticking closer to the original novel and incorporating well-known opera quotations in parts of the music composed by Sasson.

The role of Christine is interpreted by the internationally acclaimed Boston soprano and Echo Klassik prizewinner Deborah Sasson. Her multifaceted and powerful voice is perfect for this mixture of opera and musical. The Phantom is played by Uwe Kroeger, who has captured the hearts of audiences since his breakthrough role as Death in the world premiere of Elisabeth. He has played the leading roles in the world premieres of Rebecca, Mozart, The Visit of the Old Lady, Heidi and in the German-language premieres of Sunset Boulevard, Miss Saigon, Doctor Dolittle, The Addams Family and Napoleon at London's West End. Now, in this production, he slips into the role of the Phantom, feared by the world and torn apart inside.

A large ensemble of selected singers, dancers and actors from German-speaking countries also take part.
