Celebrate the holiday season with a festive day trip to Chicago’s Lyric Opera House for a matinee performance of The Nutcracker by the world-renowned Joffrey Ballet. Before the show, enjoy a formal lunch at The Florian — Lyric’s modern supper club and cocktail bar — featuring special offerings. Then take your seat in the grand auditorium for a performance set on Christmas Eve, months before the opening of Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair. Follow young Marie and her Nutcracker Prince on a dazzling journey. With Tchaikovsky’s iconic score and stunning visuals by an award-winning creative team, this production reimagines a cherished holiday tradition. Your trip includes transportation, lunch, a matinee performance, and all gratuities.
