WHAT IS LYRIC THEATRE @ ILLINOIS?
Lyric Theatre @ Illinois (LTI) is the producer of sung theatre at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, where it mounts several main stage and many smaller productions in a variety of styles and languages each year. We are committed to new, innovative, sung theatre; traditional European opera; and American Musical Theater. We work closely with professionals in all industries, and sponsor several compositions each year, ranging from workshops to full productions with chamber orchestra.
LTI offers a degree which focuses especially on sung theatre: the Bachelor of Musical Arts in Lyric Theatre. Students in this degree program follow a curriculum which includes substantial acting and dance instruction, and which trains the singing actor in the repertoire and techniques of all genres of sung theater. The BMA also includes students focusing on theatrical composition, directing, or writing for the stage. Uniquely positioned in a School of Music, the BMA provides a thorough musical education and commitment to healthy vocal production which theatrically based curricula cannot.
LTI is a resident producer of the Krannert Center, which presents the world’s greatest artists regularly, and which partners with us in fostering an important connection between the guest artists and students in masterclasses and residencies.
