MANILA, Philippines - Some of the leading actors in the international theater industry are featured in The Phantom of the Opera, which opens at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Main Theater on Aug. 25.
The role of “The Phantom” will be played by Jonathan Roxmouth.
Producer Tim McFarlane, managing director of The Really Useful Company Asia Pacific, says, “When I first saw Jonathan’s performance as ‘The Phantom,’ I recognized an exceptional talent, and his interpretation of this iconic role is exciting, fresh and immensely powerful.”
Joining Jonathan is Claire Lyon playing the equally sought-after role of Christine, the beautiful and talented soprano.
“Claire is the perfect Christine,” says McFarlane. “She has the most exquisite voice which imbues the role with just the right blend of vulnerability, passion and tragedy. She is a beautiful performer.”
Presented in Manila by Smart Infinity and Citibank in cooperation with Philippine Airlines as the official carrier, The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius known only as “The Phantom” who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House.
With nearly 100 tons of scenery, breathtaking special effects, over 700 lights and more than 230 impeccably designed costumes by international designer, the late Maria Björnson, The Phantom of the Opera is an unforgettable musical experience. The show runs until Sept. 30.
The Phantom of the Opera in Manila is produced by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, David Atkins Enterprises, Hi-Definition Radio Inc. and Concertus in association with The Really Useful Group.
