About: 

The world premiere of Proximity at Lyric Opera of Chicago is poised to be one of the most talked-about events of the year. Join legendary playwright, now librettist, Anna Deavere Smith, renowned composers Daniel Bernard Roumain and Caroline Shaw, and Naperville native and MacArthur Fellow Yuval Sharon for a conversation about this powerful trio of new American Operas addressing some of society’s greatest challenges: connection in a tech-driven world, the devastating impact of gun violence, and respect for natural resources.

This program includes a special performance by cast members, including countertenor John Holiday, baritone Lucia Lucas, and soprano Whitney Morrison with Chris Reynolds accompanying
