In Chicago, the Deaf Will Sing Don Giovanni
Since we opened ASL-Opera.com in September 2023, one question has arrived more often than any other: how rare is it, exactly, for an opera company to present a foreign-language title in American Sign Language? The question deserves a documented answer, and this fall Chicago supplies the occasion. Lyric Opera of Chicago opens its 2026-27 season with Mozart's Don Giovanni, October 10 through November 1, 2026, in the Robert Falls production, Enrique Mazzola conducting, Christian Van Horn in the title role, the capstone of the company's Mozart and Da Ponte trilogy. Inside that run sits something the season coverage barely mentions: a designated ASL performance on Sunday, October 18, at 2 p.m., which the company's own production page marks on its ticketing calendar and describes plainly, all dialogue and lyrics translated into American Sign Language by "two certified interpreters located near the stage," with select seats reserved for the sightlines a signed performance demands. Lyric has loaded the same matinee with its other access services, audio description and the haptic SoundShirt, a garment that lets the wearer feel the orchestra on the skin in real time. An Italian opera from 1787, interpreted live in ASL, on a major American mainstage, sold inside the regular season. In a healthy art form that sentence would read as routine. In the American record it reads as an event, and the distance between routine and event is the subject of this article.

In #Chicago for a very quick but much needed cultural jaunt. Art this afternoon. #LyricOpera tonight.
But we just got in and are hungry... where for lunch? Too many choices!

I saw “Parsifal” at the Lyric Opera in Chicago in 2013-2014 and it was one of the single most transcendental experiences I ever had in the theatre. I liked it so much I saw it twice. Did the same with “Meistersinger.”
Also, I agree that it would be wonderful to have BBC Radio 3 on here!
