Music amazes. Music inspires. Music makes you feel. At the heart of every opera on our stage is the music.
Get a taste of what you'll hear at Lyric by listening to excerpts of some of opera's biggest hits and familiar songs that you know you've heard somewhere before. Then dig deeper by downloading our Commentaries: audio talks that simplify abstract plots, offer tidbits about the productions, and narrate anecdotal stories of composers and cast members.
Listen to music and more here, then experience the operas live onstage at Lyric.
Nothing quite compares to the excitement of hearing the biggest stars in the opera world performing with a full orchestra and chorus in front of a live audience. Now you can experience the magnificent sound of full-scale opera free, whenever you like, with Lyric Audio Streaming. Listen to previously recorded full operas online and through a variety of online music streaming platforms.
Our friends at opera houses around the world are streaming some of our favorite productions online. We've compiled a weekly streaming guide to share some of our recommendations, accompanied — in many cases — by our popular Lyric Opera Commentaries as a way for you to get the most out of your viewing experience.
