SONG and DANCE
The collaboration of LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO and THE JOFFREY BALLET equals beautiful music, mesmerizing dance, and one grand season opener. These cultural crown jewels come together for the first time on a new production of the opera Orphée et Eurydice that will move you with its poignant myth-inspired story of Orpheus’ journey to the Underworld to bring his wife Eurydice back to life—twice. Legendary choreographer John Neumeier, longtime artistic director of the Hamburg Ballet, is director, choreographer, and designer for the show, which is dedicated to the memory of Northbrook’s own free-spirited dance genius Sybil Shearer. Featuring Dmitrty Korchak, Andriana Chuchman, Lauren Snouffer, 40 Joffrey dancers, and the Lyric Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Harry Bicket. Performances through October 15 at the Lyric Opera House. For tickets and information call 312-827-5600 or visit lyricopera.org/Orphee.
