That's a new one on me and as it turns out it's a new one for Cunard. I think that's actually "Oliviers Gala Evening" since your crossing is the special event cruise "London Theatre at Sea 2022 with the Olivier Awards".

 

Here's what I found from a recent (March 16, 2022) press release.

 

"For the first time, Cunard will be introducing an "Oliviers Gala Evening," which will feature entertainment from headliners throughout the evening, as well as a never-seen-before show, "Olivier Awards in Concert" that has been created for this voyage by Society of London Theatre's Julian Bird. The concert will take place in the Royal Court Theatre and pay homage to the Olivier Awards' last 45 years in a dazzling one-off production with cast and orchestra."

 

Now this doesn't mention a specific dress requirement, but I imagine black tie (which is appropriate for any gala evening) would be a reasonable suggestion for such an event. I also suspect some guests may not see this and will be planning for the originally scheduled "Red and Gold" theme which ought to be fine in any case.

Thanks for this! For some reason they have a typo in the calendar (literally "Olivers"). Standard black tie makes sense.

So, I haven't seen this one before. Anyone know what an "Olivers Gala Evening" is and what the dress requirements would be?
