Internationalis had the exclusive honour to be invited to the presentation of the musical Phantom of the Opera in the organisation of Festival Ljubljana in Cankarjev dom on July 9th.
We were able to experience three selected points from the musical, which were also available for filming and taking photos today. This was the only opportunity to film stage scenes of Phantom of the Opera, as filming or photographing evening performances is not permitted.

A spectacular Slovenian debut – The Phantom of the Opera
The global phenomenon, The Phantom of the Opera, is making its spectacular Slovenian debut at Cankarjev dom from the 9th to the 20th of July for a limited season.
The Phantom of the Opera is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most critically acclaimed musical, having won over 70 major theatre awards, including four Olivers and seven
Tonys. Seen by over 160 million people worldwide in 48 territories, 198 cities, and 21 languages, this haunting love story continues to take the world by storm.
Inspired by Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel, Le Fantôme de L’Opéra, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with a young soprano, Christine Daaé, and devotes himself to nurturing her extraordinary talents, employing all of the devious methods at his command.
