Lyric Opera 2022-2023 Issue 10 - West Side Story

15 | Lyric Opera of Chicago West Side Story Lyric’s larger-than-life production of West Side Story took Chicago by storm when it premiered and now returns with a stellar cast backed by the lush sound of the Lyric Orchestra playing the original orchestrations. Leonard Bernstein’s music and Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics once again transplant Romeo and Juliet to the streets of New York City in this timeless Broadway musical masterpiece. Add to that the bold, iconic choreography of Jerome Robbins, smoldering and sizzling with energy, and you have an extraordinary musical theater experience you’ll never forget.
