‘The Phantom of the Opera’, famed as the longest running musical on Broadway, made its India debut at The Grand Theatre at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre on March 5.
Having captivated everyone with landmark international and Indian productions like ‘The Sound of Music’, ‘Life of Pi’, ‘The Great Indian Musical: Civilization to Nation’, ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ and many others, NMACC brought Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 70 major theatrical award-winning production to India, marking the Cultural Centre’s second anniversary, and setting a new milestone for its audience with ‘the world’s best loved musical’.
Welcoming everyone on the occasion, Nita Ambani said, “We have completed two incredible years. I made a promise when we inaugurated NMACC that we will get the best of India to the world and the best of the world to India. And today we have the iconic The Phantom of The Opera, right here, in India, at our own Cultural Centre. It cannot get bigger and better than this! Also, in September this year, we are taking the NMACC Cultural Weekend to New York at the Lincoln Center. Thank you so much for always supporting the Cultural Centre.”
Based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra, the Gothic romance-laced musical tells the story of a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Paris Opera House. When the Phantom falls madly in love with a young soprano, Christine Daaé, he devotes himself to nurturing her extraordinary talents, employing devious methods at his command. Filled with elements of passion, horror, and tragedy, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ is known for its haunting musical score which weaves through a plot that twists and turns wildly, giving it the moniker–‘the most breathtaking love story on stage’.
