The Phantom of the Opera, one of the best known musicals in the world, is coming to the 2025 Ljubljana Festival with 15 shows scheduled at the Cankarjev Dom between 9 and 20 July.

Negotiations with the producers, Broadway Entertainment Group, lasted a year due to the the large amount of equipment needed - 13 lorry loads - and the technical demands of the show.

Cankarjev Dom's largest space, the Gallus Hall, was picked as the only venue in Slovenia capable of hosting the demanding show.

Broadway Entertainment Group's executive director James Bilios hopes Slovenian spectators will turn out en masse for what he described as a first-rate performance of "one of the greatest works of classical music".

Tickets go on sale on 6 December priced at €49-139. For details, click here.

More than 160 million people in almost 200 cities have so far seen the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, which premiered in London's West End in 1986 and holds the record for the show with the most performances on Broadway, 7,486.
