Das Phantom der Oper

In the organizer's words:

The major touring production THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA returns with a top-class star cast and a completely new musical adaptation: on January 18, the musical highlight makes a stop at the Liederhalle in Stuttgart.

Since 2010, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by the writing team of Deborah Sasson and Jochen Sautter has been captivating audiences on the stages of Europe. The forced break due to the corona pandemic was used creatively to completely revise the production musically. The successful British musician Ryan Martin, who has composed and arranged music for Cirque du Soleil, America's Got Talent, Netflix, BBC, ABC, CBS and Fox USA, among others, was recruited for this. The new production sets itself apart from all previous musical interpretations of the literary material by sticking closer to the original novel and incorporating well-known opera quotations.

The role of Christine is interpreted by the internationally acclaimed Boston soprano and Echo Klassik award winner Deborah Sasson. Her multi-faceted and powerful voice is perfect for this mixture of opera and musical. The Phantom is played by Uwe Kroeger, who has captured the hearts of audiences since his breakthrough role as Death in the world premiere of Elisabeth. He has played the leading roles in the world premieres of Rebecca, Mozart, The Visit of the Old Lady, Heidi and in the German-language premieres of Sunset Boulevard, Miss Saigon, Doctor Dolittle, The Addams Family and Napoleon at London's West End. Now, in this production, he slips into the role of the Phantom, feared by the world and torn apart inside.

A large ensemble of selected singers, dancers and actors from German-speaking countries also take part.
