Moonlight Social

Love is in the air, the music is soaring and the Moonlight Social returns — more dazzling than ever! Join the Lyric Young Professionals for the second annual Moonlight Social, celebrating one of opera’s most beloved productions, Così fan tutte!

When the final notes fade, the night is just beginning. Step behind the scenes of the iconic Lyric Opera House and into the private moonlit garden party inspired by the evening's performance. Savor late night bites and decadent desserts as we raise a glass and dance the night away in an unforgettable setting.

Sponsors are invited to an exclusive pre-performance reception, made possible with support by Lyric's Guild Board.
