Medea

Composer: Luigi Cherubini Librettist: François-Benoît Hoffman

Lyric Opera of Chicago presents Medea, a tale of infidelity and revenge like no other. Euripides’s millennia-old tragedy comes to life — and gruesome death — in this presentation of acclaimed director Sir David McVicar’s iconic, grand-scale production.

Featuring Lyric’s own Music Director Enrique Mazzola on the podium, this intense spectacle stars international powerhouse soprano Sondra Radvanovsky in one of the fiercest, most demanding roles ever written. She shares the stage with equally formidable tenor — and Lyric favorite — Matthew Polenzani.

Medea dials the drama up to 11, bringing new meaning to “blood and thunder” as it tantalizes hardcore opera lovers and leaves new audiences glued to the edge of their seats.
