The Phantom of the Opera
1905. The entire former furnishings of the Paris Opera House are being auctioned off. Among them, a chandelier which, according to the auctioneer, was the cause of an accident still unexplained to this day. The one blamed for the accident was the Opera House's mysterious Phantom.
Schedule
The chandelier lights up, and the former Paris Opera House suddenly shines again in its old splendor. The story of a great love is recalled. Its protagonists: Raoul, the romantic young count, and Christine, the charming, talented singer. But between the two of them stands a mysterious third person, who will stop at nothing to thwart their happiness.
This enigmatic third: the Phantom of the Opera, who lives in the labyrinth beneath the theater. This man shies away from no means to win Christine's love.
Who is this fantastic being? A brilliant musician, scholar, architect, inventor, passionate lover — or a monstrous, blackmailing murderer?

Madách Theater
There is still an “era” in the Madách Theater. The era of the rise and success of musical theater. The change began in 1983 with Cats, whose decades-long series of success provided a solid foundation for the next defining step: the legendary 2003 performance of The Phantom of the Opera. Both performances were directed by Tamás Szirtes, who was elected director of the Madách Theater in 2004. Under his direction, the Madách Theater embarked on a path that has resulted in a successful musical theater of outstanding quality. World-famous musicals line up in his program, which are usually in large blocks, so-called they are staged according to the en suite playing order, and each performance remains on the show for years. The basic aim of the theater is to give the viewer the same experience even after 10 years as at the premiere.
