The Lyric Opera house, which has the shape of a Baroque hall with side balconies, has been providing entertainment to Baltimore-area art patrons since 1894, and presently houses such classics as 'The King and I,' 'Annie,' and 'The Sound of Music.
The house has a fairly colorful history, which is actually very interesting. On its inaugural night, it was graced by the presence of Nellie Melba, the noted Australian diva, and soon afterwards started hosting high-level productions. It wasn't always exclusively for the arts, either; for example, it was the site of a 1905 boxing match, and even the place where electric cooking was shown off. Famous speakers such as Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh have graced the stage as well.
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has always performed at the Lyric House, and visiting companies such as the Philadelphia Orchestra and even the Metropolitan Opera have sent their productions over for Baltimorians to enjoy. These days, it's mainly exclusive to the Baltimore Opera, which isn't a bad thing at all. Do yourself a favor and check out a performance at the Lyric House. There's a reason why it's been so popular for so long; we encourage you to find out for yourself.
