Fascinating discussion! I suspect that there is no room to do this, but two techniques come to mind that I think are worth mentioning.
One is to project the chandelier onto a projection screen - for a sufficiently fast motion, it might be sufficiently convincing even when projected flat. The other would be to use a Pepper's ghost, which, with enough room, glass, and light, would project a true stereoscopic image. Realistically, both are out of any normal school's budget, though...
