About this event

Matinee performance of the legendary musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

What to Expect

  • 1.The Phantom of the Opera is a Broadway-scale production, so expect a big orchestra, lavish costumes, and those unforgettable vocal moments; as a matinee, plan for roughly 2.5 hours including the intermission.
  • 2.The Detroit Opera House is a seated venue, so aim for center orchestra or the front mezzanine for the best view and sound; arrive a bit early to find your seat and settle in.
  • 3.Dress smart-casual works well here, though you’ll see a range from comfortable to more polished looks; theatres can feel chilly, so bring a light layer.
  • 4.Parking around 1526 Broadway Street can be tight, so give yourself extra time for parking and walking to the venue; consider rideshare if you’re pressed for time between the car and doors.
  • 5.Keep phones quiet and refrain from photos during the performance; clap enthusiastically at the end of numbers and soak in the stagecraft that Phantom is known for.
