Broadway Zoom Backgrounds
While we await the day you can join us at the Lyric Opera House for a live performance, you can show off your Lyric love with a custom Zoom background. Whether you long to float down the Mississippi River on the Cotton Blossom, dance the night away at an embassy ball, or snap your way through New York City streets, scroll down to find the perfect background for your next virtual meeting or family gathering.
Simply right-click on the image to save and visit the Zoom website for step-by-step instructions to add a virtual background.
Whether it's a work meeting or a happy hour with friends, you can "Shuffle off to Buffalo" with Peggy Sawyer, Julian Marsh, and Dorothy Brock with this fun image from Harry Warren and Al Dubin's tap dance spectacular 42nd Street.

June is bustin' out all over and many of us around the world are still working from home.

It may be difficult to get friends to say "so long, farewell" when you use this beautiful shot from our 2013/14 production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music as your virtual background; however, we know you can climb any mountain with the Von Trapps behind you!
