Lyric Opera of Chicago opens its 53rd season and what a smashing season it promises to be…great stars in spectacular productions! The Lyric ranked as one of the top opera companies in the world sells 80% of their tickets to full season subscribers and year after year performs before sold out audiences.

In Lyric's audience you will find the metro area's most affluent, high-powered individuals gathered under one roof, at any one time.

Each ticket holder will be personally handed the beautiful program as they are shown to their reserved seats. The Lyric Program is a "must read" for every audience member. The programs are read in a relaxed, quiet environment and are enjoyed for a minimum of thirty minutes while at the opera hours and are then taken home, reread and saved as a souvenir of the evening and/or become collector's treasures.
