The waitress kept forgetting basic things about our order (I asked for coffee 3 times), but otherwise everything was good about the actual food.
He wasn't clear whether I should follow him, so I started to, and he told me to go back. Didn't tell us to have our vaccine cards/IDs out - didn't know we needed that until the people right before us were showing theirs.Ī man came down and demanded to see our ballet tickets (weird, because the people before us didn't have to show those), then as he got tired of waiting for me to pull them up on the phone told me to show them when I came down after dinner (originally the plan, but ok). The security guard was loudly yelling into her phone on facetime with someone else who had kids running around yelling. Nobody said what we were supposed to be doing (again, no signage here either, had to ask other patrons). We finally find it (it's a door that says "employee entrance", by the way), and wait in a 20-minute line for someone to bring us to the elevator. We must've walked into 6 different entries, told different things by different, not at all helpful people. No signage anywhere throughout the entire Lyric Opera house - nowhere. “We know this new seating plan will continue to maintain and improve our treasure of an opera house and enhance the enjoyment of it for all," said David Ormesher, chairman of Lyric’s board of directors.One of the least organized formal dining experiences I've experienced.
Construction will be completed in September before the start of the 2020-21 season. Renovations will begin next summer, following the conclusion of Lyric’s spring musical. “Lyric is committed to improving and maintaining this historic building to the highest standard, without altering the house’s visual beauty,” said Anthony Freud, Lyric’s president, general director and CEO, in a press release.
The theater is taking pains to make the seating chart changes while preserving the building’s historic art deco architecture and the space’s acoustic capabilities. Lyric also plans to replace all seats to make them more comfortable and enhance accessibility by widening the aisles and adding more wheelchair-accessible seating. The main house floor will be entirely restructured to increase visibility. Lyric did not release the donation amount, but, a spokeswoman said it will cover all renovation costs. The improvement project-one of the largest undertakings in the opera house’s 90-year history-was made possible due to an anonymous donation. Lyric Opera's historic theater will undergo a massive renovation in 2020 that will include the replacement of all theater seats, among other major changes.
