Words or Music? Renée Fleming & Mark Strand

Two of the greatest living practitioners of their respective art forms explore the power of words and music through conversation and readings. Superstar soprano Renée Fleming and Pulitzer Prize—winning poet Mark Strand contemplate the central theme of Strauss’s final opera, Capriccio: which is more expressive, music or poetry? This special event is presented in collaboration with Lyric Unlimited, inspired by Lyric Opera of Chicago’s upcoming production of Capriccio (performances October 6—28).

Seating is first come, first served. Please arrive by 6:30PM.
