The iconic musical The Phantom of the Opera, a masterpiece by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is preparing to depart Madrid and travel to various regions of Spain. The celebrated show is preparing to embark on its first national tour in Spanish, which will span over 20 locations in Spain, following a successful residency at the Albéniz Theatre in the capital, which attracted over 300,000 spectators. The journey will commence in Torrevieja and will continue until early 2027.

The introduction of this eagerly anticipated tour will take place at the Torrevieja Municipal Theatre, in Plaza Miguel Hernández. Torrevieja audiences will have the opportunity to witness six performances from June 6th to 9th, 2025, during which the theatre’s galleries will be filled with music, mystery, and magic. The inaugural performance is scheduled for Thursday, June 6th, at 8:00 p.m. Subsequently, there will be two additional performances on Friday, June 7th, at 5:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., two more on Saturday, June 8th, at 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., and a final farewell performance at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 9th.

This rendition of the theatrical classic, which is set in the grand Paris Opera, is faithful to Webber’s adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s novel and features Manu Pilas as the enigmatic Phantom and Judith Tobella as the scintillating Christine. Viewers are transported through the eerie corridors and backstage of this iconic theatre, where an enigmatic figure skulks, causing anarchy and dread.

After a car on the Orihuela Costa caught fire yesterday afternoon, Wednesday April 9th, numerous members of the Provincial Fire Consortium responded. A car was reported to be engulfed in flames in a residential location, where the incident took place. The fire was stopped from spreading to the surrounding vegetation by the firefighters’ prompt intervention, as the vehicle, which was entirely consumed by flames, was situated adjacent to a wooded area.

National Police officers in the city of Elche have arrested a 63-year-old man, allegedly for charges of slander, libel, and damage. The suspect had spray-painted derogatory messages in numerous locations throughout the city for several months.

After the manager of the affected company lodged numerous complaints, the police investigation started. The manager observed a plethora of graffiti directed at his business in various areas of Elche over the course of several months.

Officers discovered that the alleged graffiti artist selected unoccupied locations, far from the city, and at night to evade witnesses, thereby impeding police work.

Officers were able to identify the perpetrator after conducting various investigations into the affected consultancy. He was a man who owned a business in the same industry and had previously collaborated with one of the employees.

Upon their apprehension, the Elche Local Police’s Graphics and Vandalism Division conducted a study that enabled officers to establish a connection between all of the graffiti and a single individual. The study concluded that all of the graffiti had been created by the same individual.

In addition to his involvement in the crimes of libel and slander for the defamatory messages, the detainee was also charged with damages for causing economic damage to the affected company of over 1,000 euros.
