Beyond The Grave Presents: The Phantom of the Opera

Step into the shadows of history and legend at Evergreen Heritage’s 5th Annual Beyond the Grave. This year, the historic Evergreen Cemetery transforms into a world of music, mystery, and haunting beauty as we bring to life the tale of The Phantom of the Opera.

As twilight falls across the cemetery’s hallowed grounds, visitors will board a hayride that carries them through the “music of the night”, stopping along the way to experience a dramatic retelling of Gaston Leroux’s timeless tale of love, obsession, and music that echoes beyond the grave.

This year’s performance carries a special local connection: the silent film star Lon Chaney, who famously portrayed the Phantom in the 1925 film, once lived right here in Colorado Springs. The Chaney family’s legacy adds an extraordinary dimension and an extra special stop to this year’s route through the cemetery.

Feel the chill of the Phantom’s haunting presence, watch the story unfold against the backdrop of Colorado Springs’ most historic cemetery, and discover why Beyond the Grave has become a treasured tradition. This spooky literary event not only entertains but also highlights the importance of preserving Evergreen’s heritage and stories for future generations.

The event begins at the Evergreen Chapel, starting at 5:30 pm. Guided tours will depart every 30 minutes with the final tour beginning at 10:00 pm. Each tour is expected to span approximately one hour.

Kindly note that tickets are exclusively available through advanced sales and will not be available at the entrance. Ensure you secure tickets for your entire group under one designated time slot. Please refrain from splitting your ticket purchases between multiple time slots, as each slot can accommodate only 16 individuals.

We kindly request that attendees refrain from arriving under the influence of alcohol or substances. For the comfort and safety of all participants who have invested in this experience, any individual found in such a state will be asked to leave without the possibility of a refund.

Your ride will consist of a hay ride through the cemetery on the back of a truck on hay bales. The bales will be covered in blankets. We have reduced the size of each group to provide guests with a more comfortable experience.
