The Phantom Of The Opera

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
The German-language musical by Sasson/Sautter with Deborah Sasson and Uwe Kröger

Music: Deborah Sasson
Lyrics: Jochen Sautter
Music Director and Arrangements: Ryan Martin 

The major touring production with a top-notch cast. A true musical highlight! 

Since 2010, "The Phantom of the Opera," by the writing team of Deborah Sasson and Jochen Sautter, has captivated audiences on stages across Europe. For the outstanding quality of the cast, the music, and the spectacular stage design, the production was awarded the 2023 Golden Sun for Best Musical. The major touring production, starring Deborah Sasson and Uwe Kröger, will return to Austria in 2026. Audiences and the press everywhere are celebrating the singer's collaboration with Germany's number one musical star, who will once again take on the role of the Phantom. 

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

This new production, originally created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel "The Phantom of the Opera," is one of the most successful touring musicals in Europe. The production distinguishes itself from all previous musical interpretations of the literary subject matter by staying closer to the original novel and incorporating well-known operatic quotations into parts of the music composed by Sasson. 

The role of Christine is played by the world-renowned Boston soprano and Echo Klassik award winner Deborah Sasson. Her multifaceted and powerful voice is perfect for this blend of opera and musical. The Phantom is played by Uwe Kröger, who has captured the hearts of audiences since his breakthrough role as Death in the world premiere of Elisabeth. He has played 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 on London's West End. Now, in this production, he takes on the role of the world-feared and internally torn Phantom. 

In addition, a large ensemble of selected singers, dancers and actors from German-speaking countries will participate.
