The stage play, which will premiere in January, was announced at the Persona Music Fes 2013 in Nihon Budokan event in August with a pamphlet that reads, "When light, darkness, and music are interwoven... The masquerade will begin.”
Persona series composer Jun Kumagai will be writing the scripts for the play. The play is being held between January 8 and 12.
The play's official website is previously accepted pre-orders for the play's seats which cost 10,000 yen ($100) and reserved seats which cost 6,800 yen ($70). Pre-orders for the Masquerade Seats, which allow audience to be seated in a part of the play's stage, ended in September, but sold for 12,000 yen ($120). Casual seating tickets started being sold for the price of 3,000 yen (US$30) starting on October 27.
The play will have separate performances for the male protagonist (played by Shōta Aoi) and the female protagonist (Kana Asumi), and as such the two will not appear on stage at the same time.
The first anime film adaptation of Atlus's RPG premiered in Japanese theaters on Saturday.
