Director’s Note
He’s here…The Phantom of the Opera!
The Performing Arts Department of Mira Mesa High School is proud to bring Andrew
Lloyd Webber’s mesmerizing score and tragic love story to life.
The Phantom of the Opera opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London on September 27, 1986
with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles. It started its New York run
just over a year later and remains the longest running show on Broadway.
It’s also our largest production to date with over 50 actors, 30 musicians, and more than 50
crew members taking part, along with dozens of faculty and adult volunteers lending a hand.
In a time where cutbacks to performing arts departments loom, it’s gratifying to see so many
come together with time and talent to make this ambitious show happen.
Now, join us as we go far beneath the majesty and splendor of the Paris Opera House, where
the Phantom hides in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by
all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart
cannot resist.
Welcome and enjoy…the music of the night!
~ Daniel Kriley
