'The Little Mermaid'
Neumeier’s beautifully haunting interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 tragic folk tale follows the tormented mermaid on a journey between the divergent worlds of land and sea—one utterly complex, the other magnificently serene.
2023-2024 Season
The Joffrey's 2023–2024 Season at Lyric Opera House features a Chicago debut of a full-length gothic masterpiece set in the dawn of modern science; a program of three ballets featuring a world debut; the return of a Swedish tour de force; and a holiday tradition boldly reimagined for a new generation.
