According to press material, “Masquerade blurs the lines of reality, bringing audiences inside and closer than ever before to the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera – a mystery never fully explained. From the highest rooftop to the subterranean lair deep below the Opera Populaire, guests will be invited to experience the music of the night more intimately than ever before.”

It goes on to explain that when the iconic chandelier rises again above New York City, it will feature a dazzling display of over 30,000 crystals provided by Preciosa, the official crystal partner of the show.

Masquerade is based on the original musical The Phantom of the Opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe and book by Richard Stilgoe and Webber. Masquerade is presented by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Limited.
