What to expect
Settle into the grandeur of the church as the lights dip and the first frames flicker to life. As themes swell and shadows play across stone, the Phantom’s world - mystery, obsession and the dark allure of the Paris Opera House - feels close enough to touch. It’s cinema, concert and historic venue all in one.
There may even be a few surprises along the way…
Rating: PG. With the live organ and evocative surroundings, it may feel a touch scarier than a standard screening.Capacity is limited—book early to secure your seat.
