Founded in 1987, the Lyric Opera Circle is a group of community women whose purpose is to support Lyric Opera of Kansas City through advocacy in our community and by hosting the annual Lyric Opera Ball. Throughout its history, this philanthropic event has raised over $16.5 million to help underwrite world-class Lyric Opera productions. Lyric Opera Circle membership is by invitation only.
Lyric Opera Circle Ball
The annual Lyric Opera Ball is held every spring, and in April 2024, the Circle presented the event at the historic Marriot Muehlebach Tower. The Ball theme was A Toast to Opera—the gala celebrated the rich history and enduring beauty of the timeless art form of opera!
Thank you to Ball Chairmen Sharon Barry and Deanna Diebolt and the Lyric Opera Circle for hosting over 400 guests at A Toast to Opera Ball, benefiting Lyric Opera of Kansas City. We are so grateful for the many years of dedication and support from the women of the Lyric Opera Circle, and all Benefactors and Patrons involved in the Ball.
Save the date for next year to celebrate with us again!
