July 15 is Single Ticket On-Sale Day!


July 15 is a big day around the Lyric box office. It’s the day single tickets to all our shows in the coming season go on sale.

That’s right – starting on July 15, members of the general public will at last be able to get their hands on individual tickets to all our coming shows. With a season like ours, we anticipate they will be knocking down the doors to the box office. What does this mean to you? If you’re a returning subscriber, and you haven’t renewed your seats yet, on July 15 you might LOSE THEM.

We don’t want this to happen, and we know you don’t want it to either. So don’t wait until the last possible moment – if you haven’t already, renew your subscription today to keep your great seats for Gigi, The Barber of Seville, The Gondoliers, and Fiddler on the Roof.

What about if you’ve never ordered before? Well, if you’re considering buying a subscription – and you should! – don’t miss out on this final chance to reserve great seats at a great savings over single ticket prices!

A Constellation of LOSD Stars Take the Stage in 2010 Season

Have you renewed your Lyric Opera subscription yet?

Just in case you needed more motivation, here are some casting tidbits from next year’s shows. We think you’ll see some of your LOSD faves in this list!

Benjamin Robinson made his LOSD debut as Frederic in last season’s fabulous Pirates of Penzance and we couldn’t wait to bring him back, so you’ll enjoy him as Gastone in Gigi alongside our own J. Sherwood Montgomery as HonorĂ© (the Maurice Chevalier role) and Laura Bueno (last seen as Hope in 2009’s Anything Goes in the delightful title role of Gigi!

Another Pirates debut last year was the wonderful bass Ashraf Sewailam as the Pirate King. We’re bringing him back in The Barber of Seville as Don Basilio, and the beauteous Emily Douglass (last seen in Daughter of the Regiment, 2008) returns as Rosina. Robert Boldin gets to let his hair down as Count Almaviva, after pouring out his suffering on stage as Henrik in last season’s A Little Night Music. Our own Walter DuMelle will crack you up as Doctor Bartolo.

As the dashing leads Marco and Giuseppe in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Gondoliers, Benjamin Robinson steps in again, well matched with Jordan Miller (Mr. Lindquist from last season’s A Little Night Music). These two are definitely easy on the eyes AND ears!

Oodles of talent and decades of experience will collide on stage in Fiddler on the Roof as our own Leon Natker as Tevye, Broadway star Jimmy Ferraro as Lazar Wolf, and LOSD’s hometown girl Fan Hartshorn as Golde. Another reason to cheer: alumni from our Summer Academy will fill children’s roles in both Gigi and Fiddler on the Roof. With all this to look forward to, what are you waiting for?
