Masterpiece "The Phantom of the Opera" to be Performed as a Musical Reading Play Directed by Satoshi Tao下!! Musical Reading Play "The Phantom of the Opera"

The musical reading play "The Phantom of the Opera" is set to be performed from Tuesday, April 28, 2026, to Monday, May 4, 2026, at Kinokuniya Southern Theater TAKASHIMAYA in Tokyo.

This production is part of the musical reading play series directed by Satoshi Tao下, which was first staged at TOKYO FM Hall in March 2018 and received a significant positive response. The original work is Gaston Leroux's masterpiece, "The Phantom of the Opera," a renowned classic that has been repeatedly adapted and performed across various media, including film and musicals. We believe this reading play, with its focus on music and the rich dialogue woven by the characters, will offer a new world unique to this format. Please also pay attention to the豪華 popular voice actors who will bring the characters to life.

In 19th-century Paris, the Opera House was plagued by a series of strange incidents attributed to a mysterious phantom. It is said that the phantom hides a hideous appearance beneath his mask, one that no one can bear to look upon. Possessing genius-level singing ability and a love for art, the phantom takes notice of Christine, a beautiful young opera singer who, despite her talent, has not yet reached stardom. Christine, believing the phantom to be an "angel of music," receives lessons from him and grows into a prima donna. However, one day, she discovers the secret the phantom hides beneath his mask. While loved by Raoul, a 20-year-old noble patron of the opera and her childhood friend, Christine finds herself drawn to the phantom's passion... The story unfolds mysteriously against the backdrop of the Opera House, Palais Garnier, a world-renowned cultural landmark that shines brilliantly in the flower capital, Paris.
