The moment the iconic pipe organ intro of the title and theme song, “The Phantom of the Opera,” resounds, you’re instantly drawn into the world of the show.
In Japan, the Shiki Theatre Company was the first to stage a non-English production, and many people have seen their performances multiple times.
