Phantom gets a new state of the art sound system May 5, 2008

After 22 years in the West End The Phantom of the Opera is closing, but only for four performances. This planned closure will allow the installation of a new digital sound system. Planned months in advance and built into the current booking schedule the 4 day closure was the only way the producers felt they could make the changes without causing major disruption to advance bookings As the curtain falls on Saturday 3 May technicians will work around the clock to ensure the installation is complete in time.

Andrew Lloyd Webber said:

“The most recent productions of “THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA” around the world from Vegas to China have the most fantastic sound systems and it is wonderful that the flagship London production will now have the newest and best of them all to get the best out of our huge cast and the largest orchestra in the West End.”

The new digital system will consist of double the amount of microphones. The new surround sound system will include over 10 kilometres of cable, 120 speakers placed throughout the auditorium and a digital sound desk.

This will give the cast the rare pleasure of an extended Bank Holiday weekend and should mean that future Phantom audiences are treated to one of the best sound systems in the world.
