Lyric Opera of Chicago | 60 Beyond the stage, and beyond the boundaries that often define opera companies, Lyric is igniting creativity across Chicago. Through innovative learning opportunities, creative exploration, and artist and scholar residencies, Lyric, with your support, encourages students, educators, families, audiences, and Chicagoans from neighborhoods across the city to share their voices and embrace the power of opera as a catalyst for growth and change. The first cohort of students in Lyric Unlimited’s Opera Pathfinders program is learning about the many careers available in the field. Freddie Collier
