Diana’s opera dream came true on March 12th, 2015, when she saw Lyric Opera of Chicago’s “The Passenger.” Diana had a great time, and really enjoyed the performance. She says that the orchestra is what made the show so fantastic.

Another highlight of the day was the food, drinks, and service at the Florian Opera Bistro on the 3rd floor of the theatre. The staff went the extra mile to make Diana feel like a queen, and even brought her complimentary cheesecake and fudge! The walls of the bistro are adorned with countless photos of past Lyric performances and singers. Diana’s expertise on the opera became very clear as she identified by name every singer and opera title on the wall.

Reflecting on her day after she got back home, Diana said, “It was a very good day because it was something different that I hadn’t done in so long. It was very nice.” She added, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, donators.”
