One of my favorite parts was looking at Maria Björnson’s amazing costumes up close. He’s been in the industry for over 10 years and 3 years with THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA production.

They may know the story, but they don’t know that’s going to happen. There’s always the occasional scream!Ī post shared by Elayna Fernandez on at 5:18pm PST Stage Manager Mitchell Hodges says it’s always fun to see the audience reaction when the chandelier flies for 15 seconds and free-falsl over them. The chandelier features 300 pieces of gold, with 3,000 beads to cover it. The chandelier was designed 10 years ago and although the cost is unknown, it is estimated at well over $1 million. The chandelier travels with THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tour in every city where the production is featured.
