Throwing a Phantom of the Opera Masquerade Ball

MasQueradE MasKs


Just like in the renowned musical drama created by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, you can also have a masquerade ball and create a wonderful array of guests in beautiful ball gowns and intricate masks. A Phantom of the Opera masquerade ball is something fun and exciting for any birthday party, Christmas party, or other function.

For your Phantom of the Opera masquerade ball, you will have to plan a few things in advance and let your guests know on the invitations about what to wear. A masquerade is not complete without the fancy masks, so you are able to let guests come up with their own, or you could also have masks for them to wear. This depends on what you think is best for the people you invite.

The next thing is to make sure that everyone dresses in fancy ball gowns, otherwise it would just not work. The guys should all wear smart suits or tuxes and tail coats if possible to add to the authenticity. Give them ideas in your invitation, or tell them to go to a specific fancy dress hire shop where all these items will be found.

For the actual evening, you should have a ballroom where people can dance. A good idea is to have a large community hall that you can decorate, or hire a mansion for the evening so that you have a more elegant venue.

Offer snacks and drinks like punch or champagne along with a dance instructor who can teach everyone a few ballroom steps that they can do to have more fun. You could hire a live band or get a DJ to play special orchestra music including, of course, Masquerade from the Phantom of the Opera which can play as guests arrive. This careful planning will make for an unforgettable evening.
