Lyric Opera Opening Night
Got an extra $400 lying around?
Tomorrow night, Lyric Opera of Chicago holds its opening night gala performance of “La traviata” starring superstar Renée Fleming followed by a gala at the Hilton. Participants will walk down a red carpet as they enter the Civic Opera House (sans any real celebrities, however – this is still Chicago, and not L.A., after all, and definitely for the better) and will then be greeted by heralding trumpets at the Hilton. Gala entertainment will be provided by the Stu Hirsh Orchestra, a wedding band, proving once and for all that not even opera fans can resist "Love Shack" or "YMCA."
