Lyric Opera of Chicago’s newly-released financial reports for fiscal year 2015 reveal the company’s ticket sale income decreased by almost $3 million between FY 2014 and FY 2015, a drop of more than 10%. Last year the company sold $25,880,310 in tickets and spent $74,797,144 on program costs, administration and development.  A highlight of LOC’s current season, as planned and executed by general director Anthony Freud (pictured) will be a revival of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette starring Eric Cutler and Susanna Phillips.   [LOC Financial Statements 2015]
