For sixty years, Lyric Opera of Chicago has produced world-class opera with many
of the world’s greatest artists. With decades of dedicated support from donors and
subscribers, the company has flourished, gaining global recognition for its artistic
excellence and fiscal stability.
Building our reputation for the future will rely on continued commitment to the broad,
deep and relevant cultural service we provide to our city, while also advancing the
development of opera as a vital art form. Lyric is seizing new opportunities to present
opera at the highest level, re-define our audiences, and enhance our infrastructure.
After a year-long strategic planning process led by Lyric’s Board and senior management, the Breaking New Ground campaign has been launched to
implement the company’s blueprint for a world-class, twenty-first century opera company. Breaking New Ground will allow Lyric to continue to produce
major productions of the highest caliber while also modernizing the stage of the Ardis Krainik Theatre with state-of-the-art equipment. The campaign will
also contribute toward updated media, marketing and audience development programs, and plans to strengthen the company’s financial position, including
continued efforts to build Lyric’s endowment in accordance with industry best practice.
Lyric Opera is grateful to the members of the Board of Directors and donor family who have made generous contributions to the Campaign (as of
October 1, 2014):
