Lyric is ready to dazzle you with a new season that promises thought-provoking drama, suspense, laughter, theater that will whisk you to faraway worlds, and the visceral passion of timeless music. This is Lyric—and the 2019/20 Season is one of our biggest ever, from our grand-scale productions to our monumental Ring cycles.
We’re excited to launch a series of early Verdi operas beginning with Luisa Miller, exploring the rarely performed gems in this great master’s repertoire that are both musically and dramatically thrilling. We’ll present the Lyric premiere of Jake Heggie and Terrence McNally’s Dead Man Walking— among the most acclaimed American works of our time— and we’ll bring you an award-winning production of Tchaikovsky’s magnificent The Queen of Spades, which has not been seen on Lyric’s stage in 20 years.
The season features a roster of internationally renowned artists, starting with our very own Sir Andrew Davis. In 2019/20, we celebrate Sir Andrew’s 20th season as our esteemed music director. We are so fortunate to have this consummate artist at the helm of two varied productions (The Barber of Seville and The Queen of Spades) in addition to the Ring cycles in the new season.
Sondra Radvanovsky will headline a highly anticipated series of subscription concert events, The Three Queens, as she takes on the tour-de-force finales of Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Roberto Devereux, in a true feast for opera lovers. The legendary Sir Bryn Terfel returns to Lyric after an absence of 15 years for his only Chicago appearance of the season. You’ll experience debuts by world-renowned bass Ildar Abdrazakov, tenor Ben Bliss, baritone Ryan McKinny, and celebrated conductor Nicole Paiement, as well as the return to Lyric of such beloved artists as Lawrence Brownlee, Susan Graham, Ana María Martínez, and Patricia Racette.
Our three full Ring cycles will bring local, national, and international audiences to Lyric for an immersive Wagner experience like no other. Please consider adding a Ring cycle package to your order for a “bucket-list” experience every music lover must have.
We’ll close our season with our annual Broadway at Lyric show, the classic 42ND Street in a gorgeous, new-to-Chicago production from the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris that will have you tap-dancing your way out of the theater.
Please join us for the 2019/20 Season—we promise that it will be a season to remember!

My goodness, this will be my 20th season at the helm here! I will be on the podium for the first
opera I ever studied, the first opera I conducted
as Lyric’s Music Director, and perhaps the most
ambitious artistic masterpiece ever conceived.
Clues: Rossini, Tchaikovsky, and Wagner! The
season offers a wonderfully varied repertoire in
imaginative productions, with stellar casts, our
glorious Chorus and, above all, the incomparable
Lyric Opera Orchestra. As we used to say in my
younger days, “Be there or be square!”
— Sir Andrew Davis, Music DirectorThe John D. and Alexandra C. Nichols Endowed Chair

Irrepressible Rosina refuses to marry her pompous old guardian. Meanwhile, a bold young count is eager to win Rosina for himself. And who’s going to make sure those two finish the opera united? The cleverest character in all of Seville: the barber Figaro, whose services are sought after by everyone for everything (the guy has a lot more talents than just cutting hair). Rossini’s music—the aural equivalent of champagne—is the last word in humor, inspiring smiles and laughter on every page of the score, which is what makes Barber the most popular of all operatic comedies.

Verdi’s sumptuously beautiful romantic drama tells the story of sweet, vulnerable Luisa, who loves Rodolfo, the son of a ruthless, unethical nobleman whom Luisa’s own father loathes. The young couple’s relationship leads to catastrophe in a drama that breathes passion and excitement. Memorable arias (including “Quando le sere al placido,” one of the composer’s greatest tenor hits), breathtaking duets, and thrilling ensembles abound in this tale of star-crossed love and violent jealousy. Lyric’s first presentation of this electrifying work in more than three decades will be a feast for all devotees of Verdi and Italian opera.
Production owned by San Francisco Opera. Scenery construction and painting by the San Francisco Opera Scenic Shop and costumes fabricated by the San Francisco Opera Costume Shop.

A young couple is brutally killed, and the convicted murderer, Joseph De Rocher, sits on death row. Sister Helen Prejean agrees to be his spiritual adviser. As she meets his family, and the families of his victims, she begins questioning every attitude she has about how human beings treat each other. Based on real-life events, Jake Heggie’s music and Terrence McNally’s libretto explore the nature of friendship and forgiveness in the most profound ways. Hugely acclaimed in major houses internationally, Dead Man Walking is widely acknowledged as one of the most riveting operas of the 21st century. It simply demands to be seen.
Production owned by Lyric Opera of Chicago. Originally created by Opera Pacific, Cincinnati Opera, New York City Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Pittsburgh Opera, and Baltimore Opera.
Music by Jake Heggie. Libretto by Terrence McNally. Based on the novel by Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ. Commissioned by San Francisco Opera.

The seducer. The philanderer. The libertine who takes what he wants and lives only for his own pleasure. All three are Don Giovanni, antihero in Mozart’s tale of lust and revenge. He’s surrounded by memorable characters, including his frustrated servant Leporello and the three women he encounters: fiery Donna Elvira, tormented Donna Anna, and impressionable Zerlina. Filled with thrilling music and drama, including a finale so overpowering that it changed music forever, Don Giovanni is justly celebrated as the perfect opera.

THE THREE QUEENS
Three of the most extraordinary women in history grace Donizetti’s “Three Queens” trilogy: proud Mary Stuart, passionate Anne Boleyn, and mighty Queen Elizabeth I. Each is a stupendous role for a true singing actress, who must combine glorious sound with masterful technique and incomparable charisma. Lyric favorite Sondra Radvanovsky is one of the very few singers of our time to have commanded all three of these roles in a single season, which brought her ecstatic praise from critics and audiences internationally.
Singing the finales of Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Roberto Devereux in semi-staged performances featuring the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus and artists from The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center Ensemble, this magnificent American diva will give Lyric audiences vocal fireworks to remember forever.

We share her joy when he returns, and her utter despair when she realizes that he’s married an American woman and has come to take his young son—Cio-Cio-San’s child—back with him. Puccini lost his heart to his heroine, and so will you, in music of miraculous beauty and aching, deeply poignant dramatic truth.

Tchaikovsky’s broodingly romantic thriller is a tour de force for a great tenor. He plays the terrifyingly obsessed Gherman, an unhappy soldier desperate to know a secret hidden by a cryptic old countess—the mystery of winning at cards. The tension turns truly unnerving as Gherman’s compulsion begins to overwhelm him. It leads to devastation both for him and for the countess’s granddaughter, Lisa, whom Gherman loves. Tchaikovsky’s music is the height of Russian romanticism in its melancholy soulfulness, its white-hot passion, and the sweeping grandeur of its orchestra—a masterpiece from the genius who gave the world Eugene Onegin and Swan Lake.
Production originated at Welsh National Opera, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Den Norske Opera, and Canadian Opera Company.

The tragedy of the warrior-maiden Brünnhilde, her beloved hero Siegfried, and all the gods brings nothing less than the end of one world, the beginning of a new one, and the ultimate triumph of love over evil. In the entire operatic repertoire, you won’t find greater musical and dramatic grandeur, or more staggeringly intense emotions, than in Wagner’s Twilight of the Gods. Only a work of this scale could close the monumental Ring cycle. Seeing and hearing it in a live performance is one of the greatest experiences that any operagoer can enjoy.
