Phantom and the Voice

Emer Barry - Soprano
Eoin Hynes - Tenor
Mary McCague - Piano

Phantom of the Opera remains one of the most beloved musicals in the world - the longest-running musical in Broadway history and a global phenomenon. Yet this legendary show may never have existed were it not for the extraordinary voice that first captivated its composer: Sarah Brightman.

“Without Sarah Brightman there would be no Phantom.”

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Phantom & The Voice brings to life the love story behind the mask - and the music that followed. Though their marriage did not endure, their artistic partnership changed the course of musical theatre forever.

Featuring Lloyd Webber’s most celebrated compositions from Phantom of the Opera to Evita alongside the recordings that established Brightman as the world’s best-selling soprano - including Nella Fantasia and Time To Say Goodbye - this is a soaring tribute to two trailblazers whose passion, ambition, and artistry defined a genre. It all began with the Phantom... & The Voice.
