For two nights only, join the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus in concert for an enthralling program of orchestral and choral favorites showcasing Wagner's most stirring music. World-renowned soprano Christine Goerke performs with Maestro Alexander Soddy leading the evening.

Featuring an English libretto that weaves together the most poetic passages from Genesis and Psalms with excerpts from Milton’s Paradise Lost, Haydn’s astonishing oratorio renders the creation of all things in brilliant musical detail — from beasts of the earth and the infinite cosmos to humankind itself.

Jules Massenet’s take on the Biblical story of Salomé, inspired by Gustave Flaubert’s literary retelling, brings a surprisingly introspective flair to this dark drama of jealousy and obsession.
