A Private Opera Experience

The curtain is about to rise.

Tonight, guests are invited to take their place as honored patrons of the opera. Beyond the velvet curtains and candlelit hallways, an evening of elegant dining and a breathtaking performance awaits.

The venue is transformed into an intimate opera-inspired setting dressed in rich shades of crimson and gold for a black-tie celebration. The Opera Night package offers a unique setting for dinner parties, milestone celebrations, and other formal occasions inspired by the opening of an opera.

Grand staircases provide the perfect setting for the evening's arrival, creating a focal point as guests make their entrance. The package adapts to a variety of formal occasions, be it social, corporate, or cultural gatherings, while maintaining an opera-inspired celebration.

As honored patrons of the evening, guests arrive dressed in black and crimson attire, making their way behind velvet curtains and down the grand staircase. In hand is The Patron’s Invitation they received from the host, printed in black with gold lettering as a keepsake of the occasion. Each guest is welcomed with a single-stemmed rose, marking the beginning of the evening's celebration.

Behind the velvet drapes

Down the grand staircase lies The Grand Foyer, where guests gather for the evening's cocktail hour before dinner begins. Rich maroon-and-gold details, candlelight, and elegant decor reflect the grandeur of an opera house. Signature cocktails and drinks are served, and conversations begin to unfold as guests settle in.

The bar serves as the star of the cocktail hour, featuring black marble countertops and candlelight to complement the socializing hour. Guests can enjoy a selection of classic drinks, including the Old Fashioned, Negroni, French 75, and Aperol Spritz, while chocolate truffles serve as a sweet accompaniment. The inviting atmosphere encourages conversation as guests mingle before dinner begins.

Guests are invited to participate in The Patron's Game, an interactive activity using the Encore Card and Patron's Ledger found at each table. The game can be tailored to suit the celebration, from an opera-inspired mystery to a lighthearted trivia challenge or other themed activities chosen by the host. The games are designed to encourage friendly interaction, adding another layer of entertainment to the cocktail hour.

The candlelit supper

As the cocktail hour closes, guests are invited to take their seats for a candlelit supper—the highlight of the evening. Hosts may choose between a multi-course plated dinner or a buffet-style feast. Every detail, from the tables and seating to the dinnerware and floral arrangements, is thoughtfully styled to create a cohesive setting worthy of opening night.

The Grand Table features a carefully coordinated arrangement of rich textures and timeless details. Patterned black linens complement the seating, while a centerpiece of crimson roses and gold candelabras casts a warm glow across the table. Gold-rimmed dinnerware, neatly folded black napkins, crystal wine glasses, and polished flatware complete each place setting. And for the final touch, the dining area is framed by a velvet drapery.

A gold-framed drink menu is displayed within the dining area, allowing guests to browse the evening's selection of wines, cocktails, and other beverages without returning to the bar. Once a selection is made, the waitstaff serves each order directly at the table.

Final curtain call

Like every great performance, the evening draws to a graceful close. Guests gather once more in the Grand Foyer for the final curtain call, where the bar reopens for one last round of drinks and sweet treats. As everyone comes together for closing remarks and final announcements, the celebration concludes with a surprise performance worthy of a standing ovation.

The finale begins with the host making a grand entrance down the staircase, draped in a velvet cape. To heighten the moment, the entrance may be accompanied by an iconic orchestral piece or theatrical lighting inspired by one of opera's most memorable scenes. Once gathered in the Grand Foyer, the host delivers closing remarks, shares words of gratitude, or makes a special announcement before the final surprise.

No opera-inspired dinner party is complete without a performance. Following the host's introduction, an opera singer takes the stage by the grand staircase for a live performance that serves as the celebration's grand finale. Guests are invited to enjoy a final round of drinks as they watch, echoing the experience of an evening at the opera. To heighten the atmosphere, the lights are dimmed, leaving the warm glow of the candelabras to illuminate the performance.

The Opera Night Package offers hosts and their guests the opportunity to enjoy the elegance of an evening at the opera within the privacy of an exclusive venue. Designed for intimate dinner celebrations, it is equally suited for devoted opera enthusiasts and hosts simply looking for a different experience. From the arrival of the invitation to the grand entrance, candlelit supper, and final standing ovation, every detail is thoughtfully curated to capture the interiors of an opera house.

What this package includes:

Every Opera Night celebration is fully customizable to the client's vision, from the venue and guest count to the finer details of the event. Regardless of the customizations, the theme remains rooted in the opera house experience.
