It is 1911 and the contents of the Paris Opera House are being auctioned off. Present are the auctioneer, porters and bidders. Raoul, now seventy years old and in a wheelchair, buys a poster and a music box. As the auctioneer displays the Opera House chandelier, he explains that it is connected with the legend of The Phantom of the Opera. With a flash of light, the audience is flung back in time, when the Paris Opera was at its height.

REVIEWS:
"A gorgeous operatic extravaganza that is a thrill to the blood and a sensual feast for the eye."
Richard Barkley, Sunday Express
"A gorgeous operatic extravaganza that is a thrill to the blood and a sensual feast for the eye."
Richard Barkley, Sunday Express
"It's a major achievement in the musical theater and a high water mark in the phenomenal Lloyd Webber career. The bonus this time is that the glittering technical wizardry and pop-opera music have been wedded to a strong story and characters. gloriously old fashioned romantic musical spectacle."
Richard Hummler, Variety
"soaring ballads and sensational stage effects. ... this is as spectacular a piece of true theatre as London has seen in years."
John Barber, Daily Telegraph
"Four words sum up the unstoppable success of Andrew Lloyd Webber's triumphant re-working of this vintage spine-tingling melodrama. Stars, spectacle, score and story. ... Together they add up to that old magic ingredient: theatricality. There is simply nothing on earth to transport you so quickly or so far into phantasy than a feast of illusions."
Jack Tinker, Daily Mail
