Shanghai Ballet presents The Phantom of the Opera, a bold adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s classic novel, and the first time this haunting tale has been told through the language of ballet. Set in 19th-century Paris, the story follows the Phantom, a reclusive genius who lurks in the shadows of the opera house. His obsessive love for young ballerina Christine sets the stage for a gripping tale of desire, jealousy, and sacrifice.
Choreographed by British ballet master Derek Deane and featuring stunning set and costume designs by Lez Brotherston, the production combines Shanghai Ballet’s signature elegance with dramatic theatricality. With an original score by Carl Davis and dazzling lighting and multimedia effects, this groundbreaking performance breathes new life into a global classic.
