When The Phantom of the Opera comes to Torrevieja, it will be one of the most famous shows ever. This show started its long-awaited tour of Spain at the Teatro Municipal de Torrevieja on June 6, 7, and 8. It was a big hit in Madrid and has since wowed more than 160 million people in 21 languages in about 195 cities around the world.

This is an important event in the history of the famous musical because it is the first time that The Phantom has been toured in Spanish.

The best way to promote a show that has already wowed more than 300,000 people, making it one of the high points of entertainment around the world.

A mysterious and troubled masked figure lives in the Paris Opera House and forces his will on the owners and players by scaring them. This is the story of The Phantom of the Opera. As he falls deeply in love with Christine Daaé, a young soprano, he dedicates himself to developing his amazing skills in any sneaky way possible. The story goes in dark and tragic directions, mixing romance, jealousy, and forgiveness into a stunning audiovisual show that you will never forget.

The idea for the stage stands out because it has great staging, a great cast, and an atmosphere that pulls the audience into the story’s mystery and passion. This show, which lasts about 150 minutes (including the interval), is suitable for all age groups.

It is thought to be one of the most beautiful and amazing shows ever written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It continues a show that has captivated the world since its debut in London’s West End in 1986. It is directed by Federico Bellone and musically directed by Julio Awad, who also won the 2024 Talía Award for this version. The resident director is Silvia Montesinos, who is also in charge of adapting the songs. The outfits, which were designed by Chiara Donato, won the most recent Broadway World Spain Audience Award.

The Phantom of the Opera has won over 70 major theatre awards since its opening on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre on January 26, 1988, and at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End on October 9, 1986. The Phantom of the Opera ran for 7,486 performances, beating Cats to become the longest-running show in Broadway history on January 9, 2006.

14 immigrants were saved on a boat 45 miles off the coast of Alicante

On Wednesday, 2nd April, the Maritime Rescue ship Salvamar Leo saved 14 immigrants who were travelling in a boat about 45 miles from Alicante.

In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday, Maritime Rescue sent out its Helimer 223 helicopter and the Salvamar Leo, which is based in Alicante, to save the people on a small boat.

Their journey began on the Salvamar Leo, which took them to the Temporary Assistance Centre for Foreigners in the port of Alicante. There, the Red Cross took care of them.

The Red Cross says that all of the refugees they saved were men, and two of them were younger than 15 years old. They were all healthy after being treated.

The National Police took over the refugees after getting help from the Red Cross. They are now trying to find the boat’s captain so they can arrest him, as is normal in these situations.

Man arrested after being caught manipulating a roulette wheel in a gaming room

A 41-year-old man was detained by the Guardia Civil in a Callosa de Segura gaming facility for attempting to illegally win prizes by manipulating an electronic roulette wheel. After being taken before a judge, the arrested man—who had 10 outstanding warrants for similar offences in other provinces—was sent to prison.

A gambling hall notified the municipal Guardia Civil patrol about the potential manipulation of an electronic roulette wheel in the early hours of March 6th.

Officers arrived and found the man using tools to operate a slot machine before identifying him. By using a wire to stop the wheel at advantageous positions and drilling holes in the machine’s glass, they discovered that he had accrued an unpaid balance of €8,000. The man tried to leave the building at that point, smashing the emergency exit door. Despite the suspect’s fierce resistance, officers were able to apprehend him in the car park after pursuing him.

Officers searched his possessions and discovered a tool he had used to drill holes in the roulette wheel, along with more than €6,300 in cash. He received 10 search and arrest warrants from various Spanish courts, all of them were related to identical offences, it was confirmed after his identity was verified.

He was turned over to Orihuela’s Court of Instruction No. 3, which imposed an incarceration order on him.
