Based on the classic novel "Le Fantôme de L’Opéra" by Gaston Leroux, "The Phantom of the Opera" tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.

Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 2 and 7:30 p.m., Saturday; and 1 and 6:30 p.m., Sunday.
