The Phantom set you book when you want to do it properly.
Phantom of the Opera is the jewel in the Thespis crown and our largest show to date. Every section of the wardrobe has been built to create a rich, authentic and dramatic stage picture, from Christine’s journey through the ballet corps to her later Victorian-style dresses and the splendour of the masquerade sequence.
This is a set created for productions that want to do Phantom properly — with scale, elegance, theatrical detail and visual authority.
Our costume set has appeared in major productions across the UK and Europe, including Iceland, Malta, Ireland and Guernsey, and has helped costume some of the most ambitious non-West End productions of this title.
The Phantom of the Opera is a title with particularly strict visual and replication expectations, and that matters enormously when choosing costumes.
We are proud that this set has been used on productions requiring close attention to those standards, including productions where formal approval was required through licensing channels. That gives production teams added reassurance when staging one of musical theatre’s most iconic titles.
The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a mysterious figure who haunts the Paris Opera House, exercising a dark influence over all who work there while obsessively guiding the young soprano Christine Daaé towards stardom.
Set against a world of opera, spectacle, romance and obsession, the show moves from rehearsal rooms and backstage intrigue to grand performance sequences, masquerade splendour and the shadowy drama beneath the opera house itself.
As full-show costume specialists, our package is designed to cover the principal roles and the large supporting visual world that makes Phantom such a theatrical event, including:
Additional ensemble support may be possible depending on cast structure and notice period.
This is a show defined by visual richness, and our wardrobe is designed to ensure those moments land with the scale and detail audiences expect.
This package includes an exceptional level of finishing detail and selected props to help elevate the production value of your show.
These details make a real difference in a title where atmosphere and visual storytelling are everything.
Despite the scale and detail, this set is prepared with the realities of live performance in mind.
All costumes are bar-coded for stock control and supplied on hangers in named garment bags, saving hours of unnecessary sorting.
Where applicable, garments are prepared and grouped for the correct performers and scenes, allowing your team to focus on rehearsal, dressing and performance rather than wardrobe administration.
Heavy-duty costume rails are also available to hire if required.
We deliver and collect using our own experienced Thespis team and dedicated vehicles.
This is a costume set that has travelled internationally and been trusted on high-profile productions far beyond the UK.
