Lyric Opera 2022-2023 Issue 7 - Carmen

5 | Lyric Opera of Chicago In Memoriam Lyric Opera of Chicago dedicates these performances of Carmen to Nancy W. Knowles in honor of her extraordinary lifetime generosity and her service as a member of the Board of Directors as well as the Guild Board. The single most generous individual donor in Lyric’s history, Mrs. Knowles supported multiple campaigns during her lifetime and remembered Lyric with a generous bequest. Her legacy is commemorated through the Nancy W. Knowles Student and Family Performances Fund and the Nancy W. Knowles Lobby which now houses her portrait. Please join us in remembering and honoring Mrs. Knowles each time you enter our beloved Lyric Opera House.
