About this Event
Fifty years ago, in a small San Francisco room, a young man pressed record. Louis began to speak, and we have been listening ever since.
On the night of October 30th, 2026, return to the New Orleans Louis described in his infamous interview. The New Orleans Lestat fell in love with and where Claudia was reborn.
Join us for the thirty-eighth annual Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Fan Club Ball, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Interview with the Vampire. Only as the veil thins, the Théâtre des Vampires opens its doors, the dark gift is offered, and immortal company gathers beneath the chandeliers.
Expect!
- Performances in the spirit of the Théâtre des Vampires
- Toasts of crimson, feasts of decadence, costumes of splendor
- A waltz that transcends time
- Communion among the faithful
Will you bear witness?
