“Lyric’s outstanding creative team made Mozart’s masterpiece shine and thrill with every little element and detail. Impressive musical artistry is demonstrated by acclaimed American conductor James Gaffigan, who is hailed for the natural ease of his conducting and the compelling insight of his musicianship. Being in high demand in the United States, Europe and Asia, Maestro Gaffigan was greatly anticipated at Lyric. He brilliantly leads the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus prepared by chorus master Michael Black through Mozart’s sublime score. During the season of 2017/2018, Gaffigan made his acclaimed Lyric debut with Così fan tutte, penned by Mozart and Da Ponte shortly after Don Giovanni.”
