Beyond the Aria returns for its 10th anniversary season and welcomes back Artistic Director, Craig Terry with four specially curated concerts.

As always, Beyond the Aria will feature opera luminaries and emerging stars performing repertoire of their choosing in an intimate and interactive setting, against the backdrop of Millennium Park. 

Presented in partnership with Lyric Opera of Chicago, the series pairs some the most celebrated voices in opera today with budding artists from the Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center — now celebrating its 50th anniversary. Each concert is enjoyed cabaret-style with special one-night-only programs performed on the iconic Pritzker Pavilion stage. 

A limited number of cabaret-style table seating with dining options are also available. To reserve a table seat, please contact Madison Jones, Manager of Events and Communications, at mjones@harristheaterchicago.org or by calling 872.245.3753.
