Miami\u2019s Scottish Rite Temple is opening its Egyptian-inspired doors for a candlelit Lord of the Rings tribute, with tickets now on sale. Considered the city\u2019s first Art Deco building, the venue combines four towering columns and a pyramid-shaped roof with the kind of theatrical grandeur that feels right at home in a world of ancient realms, perilous journeys and kingdoms long past.<\/p>\n

Once inside, concertgoers will find the dramatic two-story Temple Theater, complete with a starry-sky mural and hand-painted Masonic scenes around the room. Thousands of candles will illuminate the historic space as musicians perform memorable selections from The Lord of the Rings soundtrack.<\/p>\n

The facade of the Scottish Rite Temple<\/a> is a striking early Miami blend of Egyptian Revival imagery and emerging Art Deco geometry. Look a little closer and you\u2019ll notice the finer details\u2014four double-headed eagles with \u201c32\u201d numerals carved between each eagle\u2019s two heads, referring to the 32 degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry.<\/p>\n

Inside, the showpiece is the Temple Theater. It\u2019s a large auditorium with a balcony, decorative opera boxes, a richly ornamented Moorish proscenium arch and a ceiling sky-inspired mural. It also retains an original 1,995-pipe Skinner organ that was built for Masonic ceremonies and also provided accompanying music to silent films.<\/p>\n

If history\u2019s more your thing, this place has it in spades. During World War II, the Temple took on a very different role. Its Banquet Hall was transformed from an elegant gathering space into a working U.S. Army planning hub. When Hurricane Andrew hit the temple in 1992, the damage led to an unexpected discovery: a long-hidden orchestra pit that is now used for events.<\/p>\n

With all that history and theatrical grandeur, it\u2019s no surprise that the Scottish Rite Temple MIA makes such a memorable setting for live music today. This season, themes from The Lord of the Rings, including \u201cThe Fellowship\u201d and \u201cThe One Ring,\u201d will be taking over the building\u2019s two-story theater by candlelight. Thousands of candles, a string quartet and the One Ring to rule them all.<\/p>\n
