Lyric Opera Concert Tickets
Here is the spot for Lyric Opera tickets. Lyric Opera of Chicago, founded in 1954, is internationally renowned for its artistic excellence. It constantly presents the top singers, conductors, directors, and designers in classic and non-traditional operatic productions. Its first season featured Maria Callas's American debut in the tragic opera Norma. In addition to the standard operatic repertoire, Lyric Opera’s contemporary productions have included John Harbison's The Great Gatsby, Kurt Weill's Street Scene, Carlisle Floyd's Susannah, Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, and John Adams' Doctor Atomic directed by the opera’s librettist Peter Sellars.
Lyric Opera’s is permanently housed in the Chicago Civic Opera House, sections of the building which was rented from 1954 until after the 1993 renovations when it bought those facilities. Built-in 1929, the Civic Opera House has a seating capacity of 3,563, making it the second-largest opera venue in North America after the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. The Civic Opera House’s first season’s main production was the premiere of Camille, a modern opera by Chicago-composer Hamilton Forrest. This opera house was the inspiration for the one featured in Orson Welles's film, Citizen Kane. For a wonderful opera, experience grab your Lyric Opera tickets today.
