Such an amazing place, it is so beautiful you will be enchanted by it. I watched Madame Butterfly here and it was an amazing opera. The performers were amazing, you can tell they practiced it A LOT. Every line was on point and the acting was great. If there is an opera going, and you're in Chicago, you can't miss it. It's amazing. You'll be amazed by how talented the singers are. I could spend hours, HOURS, looking at the building and exploring it. It is MASSIVE and amazingly beautiful.
Lyric Opera is always good. If you are a first timer its useful to know that there is valet parking ($30 cash only) - on Wacker just in front of the Opera. Also, well organized lines for taxi/ride share after the show. There are a limited, by reservation, dining options inside (and one requires that you are a $7500/year donor) but many places to get drinks and some light snacks. Better in most cases to dine before you arrive. Coat checks are available. 1 hour before the show will be a 30 minute lecture about the opera which is always interesting. The auditorium will open for seating 30 minutes before the show. Will Call ticket windows are just inside and to the right of the entrance.
I saw a world-class production of Don Giovanni here three weeks ago. This is a truly incredible opera company and they deserve every accolade they receive. YES, the tickets are expensive, but the prices are justified by the quality of the productions and the talent on the stage and in the orchestra.
Please support this company if you can. They're a national treasure.
Gorgeous American art-deco palace for such beautiful music. One of the great opera houses of the world. Interesting history behind the building of this magnificent structure. Here's a hint: It is built like a huge throne with it's back to the Met.
A great Chicago cultural experience! Whether you are visiting or a native to Chicago, put it on your list. PS, an anonymous donation was made to replace all seats. That will start in June, as the Lyric season ends.
