{i} dramatic and musical production (especially of the 16th and 17th centuries) for the entertainment of English aristocrats; (also mask)

a type of play popular in England in the 16th and 17th centuries that included music, dancing, and songs. Short dramatic entertainment performed by masked actors. It originated in the folk ceremony known as mummery (see mumming play) and evolved into elaborate court spectacles in the 16th-17th centuries. A masque presented an allegorical theme using speeches, dances, and songs, in a performance often embellished with rich costumes and spectacular scenery. The genre reached its height in 17th-century England when the court poet, Ben Jonson, collaborating with Inigo Jones on many notable masques (1605-34), gave it literary force. The masque later developed into opera

a staged performance in which music, poetry, song and dance are blended

also spelled MASK, festival or entertainment in which disguised participants offer gifts to their host and then join together for a ceremonial dance A typical masque consisted of a band of costumed and masked persons of the same sex who, accompanied by torchbearers, arrived at a social gathering to dance and converse with the guests The masque could be simply a procession of such persons introduced by a presenter, or it could be an elaborately staged show in which a brief lyrical drama heralded the appearance of masquers, who, having descended from their pageant to perform figured dances, reveled with the guests until summoned back into their pageant by farewell speeches and song The theme of the drama presented during a masque was usually mythological, allegorical, or symbolic and was designed to be complimentary to the noble or royal host of the social gathering
