The age and state of Lyric’s stage infrastructure and equipment make
it incompatible with other great opera companies with whom we wish
to collaborate. Lyric’s last stage improvements, which happened almost
25 years ago, were only interim fixes. We
must
invest in proper projection
equipment, stage lifts, point hoist motors and a fully-automated
counterweight flying system, all to the tune of $16 million. You can help
make this happen with a donation of any size. A few dollars to a few
thousand will add up to ensuring our ability to create and coproduce
innovative productions for Chicago audiences for years to come.
