Where did this production of Aida take place? It’s a mystery! I know the opera, and have seen it several times, but this version was totally, uh…. Let me guess, Innovative??? I wasn’t sure if it was … Full review by 16foodief

Just saw Aida in this gorgeous art deco opera house. I'm glad I splurged on front orchestra seats since this is a large hall. The production was magnificent with outstanding principals and excellent … Full review by MaDier90

This was the reason we came to Chicago for a Spring trip. We saw Verdi's "Aida", and we weren't disappointed by the venue, production, main cast, choir, and dancers. The venue is plush and the sonic… Full review by Jim M
Welcome to TA rip off warning. You seem to be a niche reporter. You did NOT purchase from Lyric Opera if you used a broker. The Lyric sells its own tickets in-house. If a subscriber turns in their tickets for a performance, the box office - AT THE LYRIC - will resell them at no extra charge to anyone. Please be careful of clicking on a scalper's page. In this case you used a Ticket-master secondary market seller which is under the pseudonym of Ticket Fulfillment. Lyric Opera does not have, never has had, a contract with TM. Go only to the lyric's web site.

Depends on personal preference. Sound is excellent everywhere.If you want to see faces, you have to be on the main floor near the front or use opera glasses. On the main floor, do not get too close. If you have long legs or are a short person who cannot see over others, row AA is nice as there is a space in front of it. My personal favorites are the back box seats. They are more pricey, but in the winter you can hang your coat...easy egress...close to washrooms and beverages. I have also been in the balconies...be forewarned that if you have vertigo, the highest balcony can be a bit dicey. Also if you are short, your view might be impeded a bit by the railing if you are high up in the first row or two. One friend loves the highest balcony front area because he can see into the pit. If you want to see the whole stage for choreography, you need to be up a bit.
