Lyric in Concert A Wondrous Sound
Opera has long provided the soundtrack to our world, and Lyric invites you to join us for a program featuring some of the most thrilling overtures and favorite choral works in the entire repertoire. Celebrate the wondrous sound of opera through masterworks by Mozart, Puccini, and more as performed by the talented artists of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Chorus and Orchestra. From the most rousing, life-affirming, and joyful of works, to the quiet, introspective beauty that only great music can provide, we’ll be guided through our program by Music Director Enrique Mazzola as he shares favorites — and some of your favorite composers’ more rarely-performed works. You’ll even have the chance to play a starring role in creating the music yourself! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enjoy a concert featuring the most anticipated moments in opera.
- Running Time: 2 hours, including 1 intermission
- Location: Lyric Opera House

Join us in the Ardis Krainik Theatre one hour before your opera performance begins for a free, 30-minute preview talk discussing that day’s production.
Seating is unreserved, but a ticket for that day’s performance is required. Talks begin one hour before each performance and doors open approximately 15 minutes before the start of the talks.
Pre-opera talks are supported by Raynette and Ned Boshell.
