One of the most iconic parts of the set design was the chandelier inspired by the Paris Opera House Chandelier from 1896. Over 6000 beads are used, measuring 3m wide and overall, it weighs 1 tonne. It took 5 people and 4 weeks to create such a masterpiece.
The Phantom of the Opera set showcases incredible talent. The sets are innovative, extravagant and cleverly engineered. For example: the chandelier must be perfectly engineered.
1. To provide safety to the audience below being securely attached to the ceiling, no loose components.
2. Electrically engineered to have all lights working
3. Manufactured to a high quality
Overall, The Phantom of the Opera is an incredible show with so many talented crew members who have maintained the high standard of performance and stage sets for over 30 years. I hope to visit London again soon to watch the play.
