Romanians love musicals: Tickets for The Phantom of the Opera’s first 7 shows sell out in hours

The new Phantom of the Opera musical staged by the National Operetta in Bucharest is proving popular among Romanians even before its official premiere. After tickets for the musical’s first four shows in end-January, including the premiere on January 24, sold out in hours, the shows in February and early-March also sold out quickly. The Operetta, which also inaugurates its new headquarters and a newly built hall, equipped with the latest equipment, also stages two Romeo and Juliet shows in February, with tickets still available for both of them. The Phantom of the Opera, the famous Andrew Lloyd Weber musical, stars three young singers and performers: former The Voice of Romania finalist Adrian Nour, the X-Factor Romania winner Florin Ristei, and soprano Irina Baiant. Hours before the premiere on January 24, all the shows scheduled for January 24, 25, 27, 28, February 27, 28 and March 1 sold out on the Operetta’s online ticket sale platform.
