The Phantom of the Opera

About This Event

Cameron Mackintosh's new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical.

What to Expect

• 1.Arrive at least 30 minutes early to find your seat and take in the ornate Detroit Opera House lobby—security lines move faster when you’re not sprinting to your row.
• 2.This Phantom is a full-scale Broadway-style production with a live orchestra and lush sets, so expect powerful vocals and dramatic stage effects; silence your phone and avoid recording the show.
• 3.Dress smart casual to semi-formal if you want to blend in with the crowd, but comfortable shoes matter since there’s a lot of walking and stairs inside the theater.
• 4.Intermission runs roughly 15–20 minutes—use it to stretch, grab a drink, or use the restroom, but be back in your seat before the next act starts.
• 5.If you’re new to Phantom, a quick spoiler-free plot refresher helps you follow the story, and paying attention to the score will enhance the emotional punches of the songs.
