The curtain is about to rise
The stage door is open.
Step beyond the auditorium and into the magic behind the curtain. The Sound of Musicals is not simply a candlelit concert — it is an immersive musical-theatre experience, set within a specially created backstage world.
Enter through our glowing Stage Door and find yourself surrounded by theatrical scenery, show-stopping artwork and the atmosphere of Broadway and the West End. At its heart, an exceptional string quartet performs unforgettable songs from the world’s best-loved musicals — from The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables to Wicked, Hamilton, Mamma Mia!, The Lion King and more.
Expect the drama, the nostalgia and the spectacle of musical theatre, reimagined in an intimate and beautifully atmospheric setting.
This is The Sound of Musicals: a concert with a stage set, a story and a little theatre magic.
