Lyric Theatre at Illinois’ final show of the season is the Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick musical, “She Loves Me,” opening Thursday night at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Urbana.

Nathan Gunn sings the lead role and directs the classic Mozart opera, opening Thursday night at Kranner Center for the Performing Arts.

Lyric Theatre @ Illinois kicks off their 2017-18 season with the English language version of the Engelbert Humperdinck opera based on the Grimm fairy tale.

This production is a bit different than most shows from Lyric Theatre at Illinois, as it’s a bit of a “greatest hits” show, featuring Lyric Theatre students, the U of I Symphony Orchestra, and the U of I Oratorio Society performing some of the best known arias from Verdi and other Italian opera composers.
