“One of the most profoundly moving opera artists on the planet” (OperaWire), soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes the stage with baritone Finn Sagal and Series Artistic Director Craig Terry for an unforgettable evening recital on the Pritzker stage and an epic opening to the 2025–26 Beyond the Aria season.

As always, Beyond the Aria features opera luminaries and emerging stars performing repertoire of their choosing in an intimate and interactive setting, against the backdrop of Millennium Park. 

Presented in partnership with Lyric Opera of Chicago, the series pairs some the most celebrated voices in opera today with budding artists from the Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center — now celebrating its 50th anniversary. Each concert is enjoyed cabaret-style with special one-night-only programs performed on the iconic Pritzker Pavilion stage.
