The Tulsa Performing Arts Center is set to bring the beloved musical Phantom of the Opera to the city this November. The production will run from November 18 to November 29, offering nightly performances that showcase the timeless story of love, jealousy, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Paris Opera House.
Production details
Presented by Cameron Mackintosh, this version of Phantom of the Opera is a revitalized staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic score. It retains the original design work of Maria Bjornson and follows the celebrated direction of Harold Prince. Musical staging and choreography are credited to the late Gillian Lynne, whose work continues to shape the show’s dynamic movement.
Audiences can expect the classic 2‑hour and 30‑minute performance, which includes a 20‑minute intermission. The show is recommended for patrons age eight and older, making it a suitable outing for families seeking a cultural experience.
Why the production matters to Tulsa
Since its 2021 reopening, Phantom of the Opera has reached more than 160 million people across 47 territories and 195 cities, performed in 21 languages. Bringing this world‑renowned musical to Tulsa underscores the city’s growing reputation as a regional hub for high‑quality performing arts.
Local residents will have the opportunity to see the iconic tale of the disfigured musical genius known only as “The Phantom,” whose obsession with the young soprano Christine drives the drama. The narrative’s themes of artistic passion and personal sacrifice resonate with audiences of all ages.
