Witness The Carousel Of Life In New Production Of Liliom

Legendary choreographer John Neumeier's singular adaptation of the classic play gets its Chicago premiere with Joffrey Ballet, opening at the Lyric Opera House this September! Focused around a carnival barker who must deal with the tragic consequences of his choices, Liliom is a timeless story of loss and redemption, set to a gorgeous score by Oscar-winning Michel Legrand.

What Is The Story?

The carnival is not what it once was. No one understands that better than Liliom, the charming barker who can't seem to keep himself together. Deeply in love with Julie but ashamed of the little he can give her, Liliom turns to a darker path - one with devastating consequences. But even after his death, there is a chance for Liliom to redeem himself. Could one small act reaching across time, and defying death itself, put right his earthly mistakes?
