While not error-free, Robert Sellers's WHEN THE BRITISH #MUSICAL RULED THE WORLD includes an enjoyable behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the #BrilliantOriginal London production of @PhantomOpera, with interviews with various cast and crew members: horturl.at/fhSV2
The legendary @CarlDavisMusic, who composed an unsurpassed soundtrack to the 1925 #PhantomoftheOpera as well as a recent new ballet adaptation of #GastonLeroux’s novel, has sadly passed away. #RIP #CarlDavis
After seeing @JeremySecomb earlier this week, delighted to be seeing another @Original_POTO alumnus tonight: @johnowenjones!
Though no longer in London's #WestEnd or on #Broadway, #HaroldPrince's #brilliantoriginal production of @OfficialALW's @PhantomOpera may now be seen in #Seoul, which the show has already played twice previously: shorturl.at/aoV45 #PhantomoftheOpera #TheBrilliantOriginal
On the fourth anniversary of his death, remembering the legendary #HalPrince who directed the original (and unsurpassed) productions of @PhantomOpera.
Press on the new Italian production of @PhantomOpera in #Trieste, which will also play #Milan, #MonteCarlo, & #Madrid / Articoli sul nuovo allestimento del #FantasmadellOpera di @OfficialALW in #Italia: tinyurl.com/3nfr65rj & tinyurl.com/2haww8pp & tinyurl.com/ybzaxjpt
For the first time, @OfficialALW's @PhantomOpera will be performed in an opera house actually designed by #CharlesGarnier — but not the #PalaisGarnier. The Opéra de Monte Carlo will host a transfer of the new Italian production in December: shorturl.at/duP79 #MonteCarlo

Five years ago today I lost my wonderful wife of 40 years and the world lost a creative genius who lived inside the kindest most effective communicator that ever strode the earth.
Dame Gillian Lynne DBE loved Dance & it loved her - love to you Gillie.pl
The death of #JulianSands, who starred in the title role in Dario Argento’s 1998 PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, has been confirmed. Sands went missing in January. encr.pw/h11mQ #RIP
Greetings from #Bucharest, whose Roman Atheneum, a renowned concert venue, has a dome that is uncannily familiar… #PalaisGarnier

À quoi aurait ressemblé l'Opéra de Paris si Charles Garnier n'avait pas été l'heureux élu du concours d'architecte organisé en 1861 pour la construction d'une nouvelle salle de spectacle ?
Revue de détail ici...
In a piece on the end of @OfficialALW's 40+-year #Broadway stint, @WhatsOnStage opines that the "inevitable revival" of @PhantomOpera in #NYC is unlikely to "match the grandeur of Hal Prince’s original staging", particularly given its downsizing in London: shorturl.at/agntT
Greetings from the actual castle at #Otranto, Italy. #HoraceWalpole’s THE CASTLE OF OTRANTO is widely considered to be the first #Gothic novel, featuring many tropes that find their way into #GastonLeroux’s LE FANTÔME DE L’OPÉRA. #TheCastleofOtranto #IlCastellodiOtranto
A phantomesque find in #Matera, Italy: this underground water cistern was reminiscent of another…
On the difficulties of translating @PhantomOpera into Mandarin: bit.ly/3o7VwfZ @OfficialALW's adaptation of #GastonLeroux's novel runs, in a pared-down version not as opulent as the show's 2004 incarnation in Shanghai, throughout the summer across cities in China.

Opening tonight! Le Fantome De L'Opera, with sets by @LezBrotherston and a new score by Carl, premieres at Shanghai Ballet. In Derek Deane’s balletic take on the subject, Christine is transformed into a budding ballerina, the protegee of the mysterious Phantom.
Toi, Toi, Toi.
A glimpse of the set model for LE FANTÔME DE L'OPÉRA, a new ballet based on #GastonLeroux's classic novel scored by the legendary @CarlDavisMusic (who has also scored music for the @LonChaney #PHANTOM) and which premieres today in #Shanghai. #LeFantômedelOpéra #FantômedelOpéra

Following the closure of @PhantomBway and @BadCinderella, @OfficialALW will not - for the first time in over 4 decades - have a single show running on #Broadway. shorturl.at/beDK3 #AndrewLloydWebber #Cinderella #BadCinderella #PhantomoftheOpera
Interviews with cast & creatives (some of whom even have connections to @OfficialALW's @PhantomOpera, such as conductor Michael England) of @CarlDavisMusic's ballet adaptation of #GastonLeroux's LE FANTÔME DE L'OPÉRA, which premieres tomorrow in Shanghai: bit.ly/3MceKdv
