I’ve seen The Phantom of the Opera (Romexpo, 13th of June, 2025). For the context, I consider this musical as the best play I’ve seen (I saw it last summer, in the UK).
Thoughts about the show in Bucharest?
- I enjoyed the music & interpretation, thought it was good. Not dreamy-perfect, though.
- I didn’t think the costumes/elements on the stage were as good as those in London 2024.
- I got tickets for the cheapest seats. The thing is, the chairs were made of plastic, and they were not that comfortable.
- I consider the location was wayyyy too large for the play. It was just too big, I couldn’t see properly. I couldn’t properly see the actors from the back of the building. It was something like a TV – but I paid to see a movie at the movie theater. I got a TV experience, paying for a cinema.
- Do I recommend the show? Yes, but it’s not the best show I’ve seen (like the one in London).
