NA8520 You may have noticed on Lyric’s website and emails that there is one company prominently displayed as 2021/22 Season sponsor: Invesco QQQ, Lyric Opera of Chicago’s first official full-season sponsor. Invesco QQQ has a strong history of engagement with the Chicago community, and this year’s expansion of its traditional Lyric sponsorship into a season sponsorship reflects an important strategic partnership between Invesco QQQ and Lyric Opera of Chicago. In June 2020, Anna Paglia became managing director of Invesco Capital Management LLC, which serves as sponsor of Invesco QQQ, and immediately sought to build a deeper relationship with Lyric. “Lyric has a tradition of innovation, pioneering many unique productions while still remaining true to opera’s roots,” says Paglia. “This evokes the same legacy of Invesco QQQ and therefore makes a great sponsorship pairing.” Lyric had been developing the concept of a full-season sponsor, and after the interest shown by Paglia and Invesco QQQ, it felt like the perfect moment to put this new, elevated opportunity to the test. As the first official season sponsor for a cultural institution like Lyric Opera of Chicago, Invesco QQQ continues its tradition of fostering deep and expansive relationships with singular organizations, similar to its relationship with the NCAA as its official ETF. Through these large, impactful, and far-reaching sponsorships, Invesco QQQ is able to demonstrate the shared value it finds in partnering with exceptional entities like Lyric. With those values in mind, a season sponsorship was born. Lyric’s current production of The Magic Flute from Barrie Kosky and 1927 closely aligns with Invesco QQQ’s innovative spirit: the production’s unique, unparalleled concept is just like the thoughtful innovation that Invesco QQQ provides its investors. Invesco QQQ always partners with the most forward-thinking people and companies in their fields. “We are so grateful for Invesco QQQ’s relationship with Lyric over the years, and especially for its groundbreaking season sponsorship in Lyric’s recovery season,” shares Anthony Freud, Lyric’s general director, president, & CEO. “Invesco QQQ is harnessing its resources to engage with the arts in a truly meaningful and tangible way, and we are thrilled to share a passion for innovation and community building with this extraordinary, pioneering ETF.” The people of Lyric are thrilled to welcome Invesco QQQ as 2021/22 Season sponsor.
