The night is far from over after the curtain falls! Join the Lyric Young Professionals cohort for the performance of the year — the opening night of Sondra Radvanovsky in Concert: The Puccini Heroines. After the concert, you are invited to a midwinter-inspired moonlight garden party in a private backstage location in the one and only Lyric Opera House. Enjoy late night bites, dessert, cocktails, and of course, dancing — with some inspired activation stations throughout the night.
