Having played for 35 years on the West End, and 34 on Broadway, this inspired interpretation of Gaston Leroux’s novel remains one of the world’s favourite musicals. With fireworks every night and themed pop-up bars and restaurants, this will be an unforgettable evening. Under the stars, on a floating stage with the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and city skyline glittering in the background. This is The Phantom of the Opera as you’ve never seen it before. The longest-running show in musical history is coming to the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour stage in a dazzling new production. Is the titular last weasel, so theatrically killed by his wife’s family in the second section, a metaphor for the eventual dissolution of their relationship based on infertility (“They know this house is the last place they want to be”), and the blizzard an opportunity for the couple to see what their lives could’ve been like? The only certainty is the sense of the main character standing in place while everything changes around him.Experience the phenomenon as the Music of the Night resounds across Sydney Harbour Who is the immature one: the narrator or his friend Saike, the married, work-from-home, day-drinking dad who owns said mountain home? Was the sperm test that the narrator’s wife requested for sampling, or insemination? If it’s the latter, has she lost the baby, decided against having it, or kept her pregnancy a secret each of these decisions could potentially stem from the emotional unavailability of the narrator. The narrative approach surfaces both clues and questions as a spring thaw does lost items. The specter of snow melting, thus freeing the narrator and his wife from the mountain home in which they’re stranded, unspools deliciously backward in this consistently surprising story from one of the brightest writers in Japan.
