Phantom of the Opera was originally live-streamed on CultureHub's interactive Broadcaster platform, where audiences could toggle between the show and a live backstage feed. We are thrilled to have developed this new interactive web player that allows you to watch a full recording of Theater in Quarantine’s Phantom of the Opera as it was originally intended, with the ability to toggle backstage whenever you want.

Web-Player Instructions: To toggle between the performance and its behind-the-scenes construction click the small preview window in the lower right corner. We recommend watching in full screen.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

A Theater in Quarantine Production

Commissioned and Presented by NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts

Created by Joshua William Gelb and Normandy Sherwood

in collaboration with the company

“Equal parts chilling, thrilling and incisive”

– New York Times

For ten performances over Halloween 2025, Theater in Quarantine live-streamed Phantom of the Opera from its New York City apartment studio, performed live and broadcast in real time. Following 2023’s Nosferatu: A 3D Symphony of Horror, Phantom continues TiQ’s remote gothic experiments in digital performance commissioned by NYU Skirball. Originally live-streamed to CultureHub's Broadcaster, featuring a brand new dual-streaming system that allowed audiences to toggle between the show and a live backstage feed — offering unprecedented access to the mechanics behind the illusions, unmasked and unmistakably live.
