Michaelhouse with St Anne’s Diocesan
College by arrangement with DALRO (Pty) Ltd representing The Really Useful
Group, London will present The Phantom of
the Opera.
With music by Andrew Loyd Webber and lyrics
by Charles Hart and additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, the show is taken
from by book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Loyd Webber and is based on the
Novel Le Fantome de ‘I’Opera by
Gaston Leroux.
Beneath the majestic Paris Opera house, in
the shadows of the tunnels and sewers that run beneath the romantic city, hides
the Phantom. Above in the theatre it is business as usual, rehearsals,
production meetings and shows. But the Phantom has a love that is larger than
opera, his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé, whose own heart is battling to
fight off the spell of the mysterious, masked ghost of the theatre.
This incredible theatrical experience will
be supported by a professional sound and light set-up and promises to be an
unforgettable Schlesinger Theatre happening. Choreographed by professionals, Tegan
Peacock and Bonwa Mbontsi with costumes by Carlien Walters.
Directed by William le Cordeur with musical
direction by Abri Venter, The Phantom of
the Opera will have performances in the school’s Schlesinger Theatre on Sunday (August 18) at 14h00. This will be
followed by performances on August 19, 20 and 21 at 19h00. Tickets R120 booked through
