The Phantom of the Opera

Adapted from a masterpiece by Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux, a French detective story writer, the Granada Flamenco Show The Phantom of the Opera tells a “ghost story” that takes place in the magnificent Opéra de Paris, where a creepy, illusory male voice is often heard. Living in the underground maze all year round, the owner of the voice makes all kinds of trouble as if he were an elusive ghost, earning himself a nickname, “Phantom”. Ugly-looking and masked, he is a rare musical genius. Having fallen in love with the actress Christine, he secretly teaches her to sing. Assisted by the Phantom, Christine, who is young and pretty, rises to fame overnight with her beautiful voice. The Phantom thus harbours increasingly paranoid love for her. Just then, the Phantom discovers that Christine has fallen in love with Raoul, an investor in the Opera House. Since then, the relationship among the three persons has been twisted and maddening, with love and hatred filling the Opera House.

The dance drama is only slightly different from the original literary work in terms of plot, and moreover, there are dancing scenes in it. The dance drama presents a distinctive interpretation of the story about the “Phantom”. The lofty and pathetic romance depicted in The Phantom of the Opera is expressed in the form of highly passionate, expressive and contagious Spanish flamenco dance and music.
