Opera in the Neighborhoods lets students experience real opera in their own communities. Young professional singers perform a 60-minute English-language production of The Elixir of Love in costume with colorful sets and live piano accompaniment. Lively Q&A sessions follow. Performances take place in high school and college auditoriums throughout the city and suburbs. Opera in the Neighborhoods is produced by Lyric's Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center.
