Can’t Get Enough of Opera?

Join as a Sustainer level member or above to obtain passes to exclusive Donor Dress Rehearsals.

Lyric Opera of Chicago offers our donors opportunities to observe private Donor Dress Rehearsals for three operas each season. It’s the perfect chance to enjoy the magic of opera while Lyric designers, artisans, and performers are still fine-tuning the piece. You’ll have the inside scoop on these productions, and the chance to see any last-minute changes that happen between the dress rehearsal and your regular performance!

Donor Dress Rehearsal options:

  • Two (2) passes for Sustainer level members (contribution of $500-999)
  • Four (4) passes for members between the Friend and Silver Grand Benefactor levels ($1,000-24,999)
  • Premium reserved for two for each of the three Donor Dress Rehearsals (6 total) for Golden Grand Benefactor members and above ($25,000+)


Dress rehearsal passes can be redeemed however you would like among the three dedicated Donor Dress Rehearsals. In other words, a member of our Friend level could attend one rehearsal alone (one pass) and then bring a couple to another (three passes) for a total of four passes. Easy and flexible, right?

Invitations to our rehearsals will be mailed in August, but you will need to give your donation of $500 or more before June 30, 2018, to receive this benefitDonate now through our website, or contact Lyric’s Development office at 312.827.3500 to join.
