Book The Phantom of the Opera tickets at His Majesty’s Theatre

The Phantom of the Opera is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running West End classic at His Majesty’s Theatre (formerly Her Majesty’s), its London home since October 1986 and the home of the chandelier, Masquerade and the story of the Phantom and Christine Daaé. The production is booking until 2 October 2027.

The production celebrates its 40th anniversary in autumn 2026, with a special gala performance on 9 October 2026. Hal Prince’s original staging and Gillian Lynne’s musical staging, revised by Seth Sklar-Heyn and Chrissie Cartwright, sit inside Maria Björnson’s design, with a score that includes The Music of the Night, All I Ask of You and The Point of No Return.
