Few directors are as comfortable helming a sparkly winter panto as they are a psychologically gruelling Sarah Kane play. But few directors have credits as varied as Tinuke Craig.

Single tickets go on sale Thursday, June 20 at 10 a.m. Central Time for Lyric Opera of Chicago’s 2024/25 Season, an exciting mix of four classic operas, two contemporary works never before performed in Chicago, three unmissable special concerts and recitals featuring the biggest names in the vocal arts, and the return of a popular event providing an insider's glimpse into opera for all ages.

More importantly, I find that theater can elicit in me a profound response and cause me to recall people, places and memories that feed my very soul.
