The Phantom of the Opera Lights Up Dubai Ahead of International Tour
The Phantom of the Opera, Broadway's longest-running musical, celebrated tickets going on sale for its Middle Eastern debut in Dubai this fall with a 120-second audio-visual show, projected on the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. The show's main characters, including Christine and the Phantom, were beamed onto the 828-meter-tall skyscraper, accompanied by music from the Tony-nominated score.
Take a look below at a video and an image of the spectacular presentation.

Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L'Opéra by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera tells the tale of a musical genius known only as the Phantom who inhabits the depths of the magnificent Paris Opera House. Mesmerized by the talent and beauty of a young soprano, Christine Daaé, the Phantom falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine's love for another, the Phantom's obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where unrequited love, jealousy and passions collide.
The musical features a score of Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Charles Hart (lyrics), with additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, and a book by Stilgoe and Webber,
