  • Lyric Opera of Chicago, section: Upper Balcony, row: C, seat: 536
    Madama Butterfly
    Good Sound, decent central view. A couple rows forward helps avoid people's heads.
  • Lyric Opera of Chicago, section: Dress Circle, row: E, seat: 301
    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
    A little annoying being so far to the side, but none of the stage is cut off since the room is so big.
  • Lyric Opera of Chicago, section: Upper Balcony, row: M, seat: 633
    La bohéme
    Not bad for the nosebleeds. The sound wasn't too bad. This seat is annoying because it's right next to the very bright lights by the entry hallway to the first level of the upper balcony, but once you're seated you don't notice them that much.
  • Goodman Theatre - Owen Theatre, section: Mezzanine, row: AA, seat: 7
    Good view of pit, but the balcony obscures things unless you lean over it, which isn't comfortable. I think the back of the mezzanine is generally better for sightlines, and you're still reasonably close to the stage since it's a small venue.
  • Lyric Opera of Chicago, section: Dress Circle, row: C, seat: 321
    Lovely sound - full blend without anything being too overwhelming. Front floor is better to see the actors faces, of course, but here you can look at the supertitles without diverting your gaze from the action.
  • Lyric Opera of Chicago, section: Main Floor, row: M, seat: 119
    West Side Story
    Fantastic view of the stage (duh, front center of the orchestra).
