Come celebrate Of Mice and Men following the final performance on May 3! Join Lyric Opera and Kanbe's Markets for an Ugly Happy Hour at Mineral Lounge—located directly across the street from the Kauffman Center. Your ticket includes a themed cocktail and appetizer crafted by Mineral Lounge using Kanbe's rescued produce: “ugly” food that would otherwise go to waste. Gather to reflect on the opera, support food waste reduction, and mingle with fellow arts lovers and foodies.

Please note: we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions.
