Not to be missed! Lyric Opera of Chicago is delighted to bring this production of Donizetti’s “The Daughter of the Regiment” - bel canto opera’s equivalent of vintage champagne - to the city for the first time.

Things get complicated when the Marquise carts her off to refine her with a “proper” education. In one exhilarating number after another, Marie throws off coloratura flourishes like shooting stars, while her tenor sweetheart pops out nine high Cs in a single aria! Bel canto superstar Lawrence Brownlee and comedic veteran Alessandro Corbelli partner with the dazzling Lisette Oropesa in her eagerly awaited Lyric debut. We have great seating on Main floor 2!

Per Harvard Medical School, Tai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion,” but it might well be called “medication in motion.” There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice has value in treating or preventing many health problems. Tai Chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. It’s a low-impact, slow-motion exercise, that doesn’t put any pressure on the joints. It’s also slowly becoming therapeutic exercise for many chronic health conditions. Join Zuzana from Hummingbird Qigong in this beginners 6 weeks Tai Chi program to improve your balance, coordination and overall health.
