Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera

About Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera

Following their 5***** and sold-out show in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe,

"Matthew Shiel has ‘composed’ a most enchanting concert, relating amusing, enlightening stories to introduce each piece; his eloquent performance expresses a dramatic, emotional mood from sad and sorrowful to light-hearted and lyrical, oozing a joyful sense of romantic love." (5***** Edinburgh Guide)

"A ripping good yarn. Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts." (5***** Binge Fringe Magazine)

"Matthew Shiel shone" (4****Three Weeks)

Moonlight Concerts return to Edinburgh with a musical show inspired by Valentine's Day. Storyteller and concert pianist Matthew Shiel, international opera singer Ines Mayhew-Begg and acclaimed Shanghainese Disney illustrator Emma Yitong Shen collaborate on a new show inspired by the greatest musical mystery every told - Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera (1910).

Venetian masks, operatic arias, dramatic silhouettes and the most haunting piano pieces ever written (including Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata) meet alongside romantic candlelight recitations of Gaston Leroux's original novel and an ethereal digital art exhibition designed by acclaimed Chinese artist and Disney illustrator Emma Yitong Shen – to create a simultaneously thrilling and terrifying musical experience designed to seduce your senses - and lure you away to the phantom's lair.
