Book Now For THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA At London Coliseum
By: Marianka Swain Sep. 15, 2017
On 8 October, London Coliseum is hosting the world premiere of Roy Budd's masterpiece score to the 1925 classic silent film of The Phantom of the Opera. Book tickets here from £25!
For the very first time, the iconic silent film will be shown with the score by legendary musician and film composer Roy Budd. This is a none-off event performed by Docklands Sinfonia, conducted by Spencer Down.
As a child prodigy performer, Budd debuted at the Coliseum in 1953 at six years of age. Now, the Coliseum will again play host to Budd in what is arguably his greatest achievement - a grand soundtrack for a full orchestra with several themes and leitmotifs that pay tribute to the great composers of the concert hall and screen, while at the same time being unmistakably the work of its inspired creator.
Budd tragically and unexpectedly passed away in 1993 at 46 years old, five weeks shy of the original premiere, which never took place due to his passing. Twenty-four years later, the Coliseum is very proud to stage the premiere of his masterpiece work.
