Immersive audio installation for the acclaimed New York Broadway musical Masquerade
The new musical Masquerade has been captivating visitors and critics alike in New York City since the end of July 2025. The extraordinary concept for this production – directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus – is enthralling audiences not only with its reinterpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical The Phantom of the Opera but also with an immersive experience that transcends traditional theatre boundaries. Instead of having fixed seats, guests move freely through a multi-storey building in Midtown Manhattan and are right in the middle of the action. The special room architecture and the constant change of audience positions have placed extreme demands on the sound system, for which sound designer Brett Jarvis was responsible – a challenge that has been solved with the most extensive LD Systems audio installation the world has seen to date.
