Do you feel those goosebumps of jittery anticipation forming on your arm whenever the house lights dim and the orchestra plays the first notes of an overture? Do you find yourself discreetly wiping the tears from your eyes when you jump to your feet in ovation as the stars take their final bows? Were you still humming "There's a Place for Us" in the shower 16 days after seeing West Side Story?
If you've felt this way for a live performance of West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, or The Sound of Music, imagine how you'd feel at Tosca or The Marriage of Figaro, when excellent storytelling and legendary music combine to deliver an emotional punch only a grand-scale opera production can deliver.
Lyric produces a season full of timeless classics and timely dramas that will sweep you away with love, revenge, humor, and pain as the glorious music washes through you.
With superb singers and amazing voices, genius scores by first-class composers, and a full orchestra and chorus whose music vibrates through the house, opera delivers everything you crave from musical theater on a level you won't get from a Broadway cast album.
