The 25th Anniversary Performance of “The Phantom of the Opera” was recorded live, on October 2nd, at the Royal Albert Hall. It was then shown on big screen - for example in Finland it was in selected movie theaters on the 26th and 27th of October 2011. It was shown in Tampere only one time, on the 26th but in Helsinki (capital city of Finland) it was shown on 26th and ALSO for the second time on the next day. If I would live in Helsinki, I would have gone seen it twice!
