Lyric opera attracts the finest opera singers in the world. The stage settings, the excellent orchestra, and a magnificent building, it provides a cultural night to remember.

If you're an opera fan you must go! World class Opera in Chicago. I have a few friends who sing in the chorus...holy cow...the most glorious voices I've ever heard!

Okay, I don't like opera. All that screeching, okay? BUT Lyric has other shows for people like me, Showboat --recently. I went on my own (with husband out of town) because even I wanted to see that show with THAT quality. Lived up to the hype.

It was very expensive, but definitely worth it. I was so excited to see my first professional opera!

we have been attending their out of towner's series for sever years. This is a nice series as it allows you to see four operas in two visits. Wonderful pit orchestra, good singing, and nice staging.
