Through the timeless power of voice, acting that brings characters to life in triumph and tragedy, the splendor of a great orchestra and chorus—coupled with theater, dance, design, and truly magical stagecraft–– Lyric is devoted to immersing audiences in worlds both familiar and unexpected, creating shared experiences that resonate long after the curtain comes down. Todd Rosenberg Todd Lyric Opera of Chicago | 6 Welcome to your Lyric Lyric Opera of Chicago | 7 From the General Director and the Chairman Welcome to Lyric! We’re delighted that you’re joining us for the opening of what is sure to be a season of tremendously exciting productions and glorious music-making. There couldn’t be a better opera to start the season than The Barber of Seville, one of the most exhilarating works in the repertoire. Barber captivates audiences all over the world thanks to its effervescent music, matched by its irresistible wit. That’s no surprise, since Gioachino Rossini is opera’s greatest musical comedian. It’s impossible to leave a performance of this opera without a smile. In every brilliant aria and ensemble Barber’s energy, virtuosity, and sparkle combine to make it the most popular and best-loved of all operatic comedies. Our renowned music director, Sir Andrew Davis, has a wonderful affinity for Rossini. He brings to this music not just his amazing gifts as a musician, but also his own irrepressible sense of humor. He’ll be conducting a marvelous cast of international stars, including four favorites of the Lyric audience: Adam Plachetka, Lawrence Brownlee, Marianne Crebassa, and Alessandro Corbelli. Director Rob Ashford and his brilliant design team approach Barber with terrific imagination, and we know the production will be a joy for everyone. It’s a very exciting time to be part of Lyric. We’re producing more new types of work than ever before. Our musical-theater productions and other Lyric-produced special events are attracting tens of thousands of new patrons, and we’re on the cusp of producing an extraordinary new Ring cycle. And, in 2020/21, we’ll be welcoming The Joffrey Ballet as they take up residency in the Lyric Opera House. We’re thrilled to have just announced the appointment of our new music director, Enrique Mazzola, who will take up the position in two years. He’ll be an outstanding successor to Sir Andrew Davis, and a real spark in Chicago’s performing-arts community. The dynamic Italian conductor is already looking forward to engaging with our entire city. Put all of these major developments together and you’ll see a company striving to become a true visionary arts leader in Chicago and throughout America. The real measure of success is how often and in how many different ways people choose to interact with Lyric. The opera house is our home, but our mission is to engage people where they are, reflecting the city and communities we serve. This means making the entire experience welcoming and engaging by looking at the performance through a variety of lenses. Our goal is to provide new ways to ensure that our audiences’ initial encounter with Lyric is so impactful and entertaining that new patrons will make Lyric a part of their lives. By focusing on building our audience of the future, while we continue to serve our current audiences, we’ll ensure that both Lyric and opera itself remain culturally relevant and artistically important for the next generation. We hope you feel the drumbeat of progress at Lyric as much as we do. Together we are all part of the Lyric story. ANTHONY FREUD DAVID T.

Once seated, they lean forward, feet dangling, and check out the scenery onstage: a museum façade, huge paintings of dinosaurs, and a massive dino skull peeking out—a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come over the next 40 minutes. A swirling piano melody and the appearance of a young-adult soprano costumed like a kid quiets the crowd. “Hello! I’m Rhoda, and I’m nine years old,” she sings directly to the wide-eyed audience. She needs help to find her lost fossils. With a resounding “Yes!” the students join the adventure of Rhoda and the Fossil Hunt. It’s a weekday morning at Lindblom Math and Science Academy in West Englewood, a great time and place to introduce so many CPS elementary students to Lyric’s popular Opera in the Neighborhoods program.

Figaro is the Valet to the Count and Susanna the maid and confidante of the Countess. The Count is a philanderer and has his eyes on Susanna. Prior to the opera he abolished the law of 'droit de seigneur', the right of the lord of the manorto take the virginity of a bride before the wedding, but with Susanna, about to get married, he plans to re-establish this law. This provides the emotional foundation for all the characters in the opera, leaving Figaro angry, Susanna confused and the Countess bereft, relying on her page, Cherubino to cheer her up. They are reduced to hatching a plot to obstruct the Count's plans and to humiliate him. Z 1.
