The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera at Des Moines Civic Center

What first drew you toward The Phantom of the Opera: a recording, a memory or someone else’s enthusiasm? Maybe you've only heard the music and wondered what the full story feels like when it's happening in front of you. Either way, Saturday, March 6, 2027, at 2:00 PM gives you the chance to sit inside a well-known musical at Des Moines Civic Center and let the story do what it was designed to do: sweep you up and refuse to let go until the final note.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music gives this theatrical story its emotional center. For listeners who know the work through recordings, a performance offers another way to follow the relationship between music and drama. Come with an interest in the score, a memory of discovering the musical, or curiosity about what draws people back to this story.

Bring someone who deserves an afternoon that feels bigger than the routine. Bring a parent, a partner, or a friend who appreciates theater that trusts its audience to feel something real. Or go alone and give yourself permission to spend a Saturday inside a story that refuses to fade. Explore tickets for The Phantom of the Opera at Des Moines Civic Center.
