From dark corners of the Paris Opera a voice resounds that calls the name of the very young ballet dancer Christina Daaé and encourages this extraordinary talent. Hardly anybody knows that the mysterious voice is the voice of the Phantom, a disfigured genius roaming around the labyrinth of catacombs... The ballet ensemble comes with another delicacy, a romantic story on the theme of the novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux. The head of our production team is Libor Vaculík who set this exciting theme also known from a musical comedy version by Andrew Lloyd Webber into a specific ballet environment. The dance/acting roles of Raoul, Christine, the Phantom and a number of other heroes will challenge again the soloists and the entire ensemble. This attractive material set into music by Petr Malásek and choreographed by Libor Vaculík has everything necessary to reach both Czech and foreign audiences and to take its place alongside successful works from past years like The Lady of the Camellias and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
