Moonlight Social

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.

6:30 PM - Enjoy a free pre-opera talk with speaker, Roger Pines

7:00 PM - Pre-concert cocktails and mingling on the American Airlines Mezzanine
(Sponsors receive complimentary drink tickets and glow swag bags)
