Audiovisual materials for operas performed during the current Lyric Opera of Chicago season are available to borrow from the Library. Materials include compact discs, DVDs, VHS videos, librettos, and Lyric Opera commentaries on cassette and CD.  They are on display during the Lyric season on the first floor of the Library near the Movies, Music and More Desk.  As Lyric Opera materials are in demand during the season, there is a limit of three Lyric Opera items per patron.  The loan period for each item is seven days.  Check the links below or visit the Library's online catalog to determine availability of Lyric Opera materials.  They may be reserved.
