The Chancellor of Texas Tech University, Robert L. Duncan, announced today that the Texas Tech Opera Theatre will perform the famous play, “The Phantom of the Opera” by Andrew Lloyd Webber this fall.
The show will be directed by Dr. Gerald Dolter, the Director of TTU Music Theatre, whose tireless efforts allowed Tech to acquire the rights to perform the play. The production will star Broadway veteran and Texas Tech alumnus, David Gaschen as the Phantom. He will be accompanied by the students of the Texas Tech Opera Theatre, many of whom have national singing credits.
“I am beyond excited to return to Lubbock to perform as the Phantom in ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’” Gaschen said. “I have waited for this moment for 20 long years and now the time has come. I am so proud to be from Lubbock and an alumnus of Texas Tech. A big thank-you to Texas Tech for giving me this incredible opportunity.”
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18-22 and Nov. 25-26, and 2 p.m. Nov. 20, 26-27 in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Theatre.
