When the curtain falls on another season, the Lyric’s staff doesn’t slow down—they hit the road to soak in spectacular opera productions across the country and beyond! From the Santa Fe Opera in the mountains of New Mexico to the exciting streets of Paris, our team is always on the lookout for fresh inspiration.
Just up the road, Des Moines Metro Opera is a one of the region's go-to spots for summer opera performances. Their upcoming production of The Flying Dutchman features a stunning set by Steven Kemp, the designer of our brand-new production of Rossini’s Cinderella, premiering this fall! We're excited to join forces again with Des Moines for a new co-production of Of Mice and Men for our 2025–26 season finale!
