On Sunday, June 25, 2023, Leonard Bernstein's music and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics for West Side Story will once again transplant Romeo and Juliet to the backstreets of New York City in this timeless Broadway musical masterpiece at the Lyric Opera House. Tony and Maria are wide-eyed teenagers from two communities in conflict who fall in love. As their friends and family battle with one another, Tony and Maria long for "a place for us...somewhere." Their songs illuminate every scene and permeate our culture, from the romance of "Maria" and "Tonight" to the exuberance of "America" and the humor of "Gee, Officer Krupke." Add to that the bold, sexy, iconic choreography of Jerome Robbins that smolders and sizzles with energy, and you have a timeless musical theater experience you'll never forget.

The package includes two signed photographs from the cast.

Running Time: 2 hours 30 minutes with one intermission

Location: Lyric Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive, Chicago
The lucky bid winner tonight receives a block of four prime tickets for the Sunday, June 25th performance at 1:30 p.m.

In addition, Salme and Michael Steinberg reserved a lunch table for the winning four ticket holders at noon in The Roanoke Restaurant on 135 West Madison Street.

The Ruth Page Foundation Board of Directors heartily thanks the Lyric Opera for generous participation in this exciting opportunity.
