In this new world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar, but he has never stopped yearning for his one true love and musical protégée, Christine Daaé.
Directed by Simon Phillips with new set and costume designs by Gabriela Tylesova, the production also features choreography by Graeme Murphy, lighting design by Nick Schlieper, and sound design by Mick Potter. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit the Love Never Dies website.
