If you have been seduced by the music of the night, we have just the Airbnb for you.
Since its release in 1986, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s version of Phantom of the Opera has become the longest running musical in Broadway history. The show has also traveled to the West End and was made into a film starring Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum.
Sadly, Phantom is coming to an end on Broadway, but it is not the end for fans of the award-winning musical.
The story of the masked musical genius comes from a 1910 French novel by Gaston Leroux. Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as it is known, is set at the Paris opera house, the Palais Garnier.
The prestigious hall exists in real life, and you now have the opportunity to stay there.
The novelist’s great-granddaughter, Véronique Leroux, is hosting an Airbnb stay that will allow guests to sleep in the beautifully renovated Box of Honor.
“My great-grandfather’s classic story has inspired so many people through the years,” she stated. “This is the perfect time to honor him and welcome ‘phans’ [Phantom of the Opera fans] to the famous setting of his much-loved novel for a once-in-a-lifetime stay.”
The experience also includes a private ballet initiation with one of the Opera de Paris Ballet dancers, an exclusive recital performed by the artists of the Paris Opera Academy, a lavish dinner in the Foyer de la Danse, and a tour of the iconic building.
Guests can book their overnight visit on July 16 for around $40.
