    Absolutely beautiful. From the moment you walk in the doors. The ambiance is wonderful! Tonight we saw Jenufa. It was a very moving performance. The talented performers, set design, and the outfits made this a memorable night. Wow! When you first walk in the ambiance is amazing. We saw Fiddler on the Roof and it was outstanding! They offer wine,pop,coffee,water and beer. They also had snacks. Popcorn,cookies, and trail mix. Also the coffee is intelligentsia. This is a Chicago must! I am already looking to see what our next show will be. The building is so amazing any picture you take turns out beautiful. Can't wait to go back!

    Amazingly beautiful opera house. It’s breathtaking once you first walk in and see the facade with gold trim. The architecture to make the stage a focal point is well designed and if you see a show here, you will not be disappointed. We saw the Little Mermaid Ballet and were very happy with the show.

    On a recent visit to catch the Joffery Ballet of Twas the Night before Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised to see this renovated Lyric Opera House of Chicago maintained it's beautiful 1920's Art Deco designs even in it's Lobby Chandeliers that if you look closely, wrought iron theater masks encase the Chandeliers. The staircases even reveal opulence of the 20's. Make sure to check out the beautiful Gold Guilded ceilings and panels once inside. The first row Balcony seats were plush and provided plenty of room as not be crowded by a larger person seated next to you. Unlike the Stunning Chicago Opera House, however a must see if a lover of architecture! Center 1st row Balcony seats provided balanced sound and views of the Ballet. Opera glasses are recommended for close up facial views. The Joffery adapted this famous Ballet to the beginning days of Chicago. Thoroughly an enjoyable performance! An absolute treat and highly recommend your visit.

    The venue is housed in a gorgeous beaux arts/art deco building. I went there to see Joffrey Ballet's performance of 'The Nutcracker' and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Joffrey Ballet's Nutcracker at Lyric Opera was pure magic! The dancers were incredible, mixing old and new dance styles seamlessly. The place was fancy, the music was great, and the holiday vibe was perfect. Totally recommend for a fantastic Christmas treat!

    Had a wonderful experience with dinner at the Florian Restaurant on the 3rd floor prior to the show and then had box seats for the iconic Chistmas show, The Nutcracker.

    Went to see the nutcracker. The staff was so kind and helpful in finding my seats before the show started. The dancers themselves were excellent. Very well performed and executed. I will definitely be recommending Jeffrey Ballet and be coming back for future shows! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
