New York, NY (December 11, 2025) – Masquerade is pleased to announce that the illuminous halls of the Paris Opera House will be open to revelers this New Year’s Eve for Bal Lumière, an intimate masked soirée following the December 31 evening performance. Bal Lumière invites the O.G.’s esteemed guests even deeper into the candlelit world of Masquerade, featuring nightlife performances, DJs pumping the music of the night, and an open bar.
Tickets to Bal Lumière are now available at www.masqueradenyc.com/nye, with options for performance & soirée or a full romantic evening including a pre-show dinner hosted by the show’s neighbors at Paris Bar. Formal or cocktail attire in black, silver, or white is requested. Masquerade masks are, as ever, required.
Currently in performances at 218 West 57th Street, tickets to Masquerade are now available through March 29, 2026.
Masquerade previously announced it has partnered with TodayTix to offer $178 Digital Cancellation Line tickets exclusively on the TodayTix app. Same-day tickets will be released on a first-come, first-served basis daily beginning at 9 AM ET. Users can download the TodayTix app on an iOS or Android device, set an alert in-app to be notified when tickets are available each day, and purchase up to two tickets for that afternoon or evening’s show.
Tickets can also be accessed via the Black Tie Standby Line, an in-person cancellation line offering a limited number of $170 tickets to each performance, subject to availability from any returned or canceled tickets. Standby hopefuls are reminded that attending in proper attire is essential to the Masquerade experience and is required in order to join the Black Tie Standby Line.

Masquerade brings audiences 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 beneath the Opéra Populaire, guests explore the world of the Phantom as the story and music unfold around them. And when the iconic chandelier rises once again above New York City, it offers more than just ‘a little illumination’—revealing a dazzling display of over 30,000 crystals provided by Preciosa, the Official Crystal Partner of Masquerade. M.A.C. COSMETICS serves as the show’s Official Makeup Partner.
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 Andrew Lloyd Webber. Masquerade is presented by arrangement with Lloyd Webber Entertainment.
