We are holding an event with ~200 people. We have break sessions but we have no ability as the organizers to create say 5-8 breakout rooms with specific themes that then could be communicated to our audience who then could choose to join the room with the theme of their choice.
That would be a very nice feature add fyi.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @FindingSpirit.
I'm not sure how fancy you are thinking about "themed Breakout Rooms". If you just have 5 rooms and want -- for example -- to have people join the room with their favorite ice cream flavor, just name the rooms Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Butter Brickle, and Peach, and set it up where attendees can choose their own room.
If you're wanting some sort of ambiance in each space, designate a Co-Host for each room, and let them set the Wallpaper or Virtual Background.
What else were you hoping to do?
