World Opera Day - limited time offer
October 25 is World Opera Day, in honor of the birthdays of two of opera’s most famous composers – Georges Bizet and Johann Strauss II. It’s a day when opera companies, along with artists, opera lovers and opera professionals, show and celebrate the value of this wondrous, multi-sensory art form.
It’s also the perfect day for opera lovers to invite their friends and family to enjoy a show with them, and for the opera curious to see what the buzz is all about!
We invite you to use the promo code OPERADAY to enjoy seats on the main floor Steiner Parquet for just $99, with additional price points at $69 and $39, for the following Lyric shows this season:
Omar
This Pulitzer Prize-winning work by Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels, directed by Kaneza Schaal, is inspired by the true story of Omar ibn Said, a 19th-century Islamic scholar who was captured and enslaved in South Carolina. A profoundly moving story of faith and resilience.
Don Giovanni
Mozart’s grand story about the cost of reckless debauchery and deceit stars bass-baritone Christian Van Horn in this revival of Robert Falls’s taut, gripping production called “a stellar, absorbing production filled with bold visual flourishes." (Chicago Reader)

True love is the real winner in Donizetti’s comic opera masterpiece, in which a bumbling young man finally marries his beloved after a rag-tag band of allies hoodwinks his aging uncle into restoring his inheritance.

Join the Lyric Opera and Chorus with powerhouse soprano Christine Goerke for a program of Wagner’s greatest hits, featuring themes from the monumental operas that redefined the art of musical storytelling for all time.
