Lyric Theatre

Lyric theatre is a style of musical theatre that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance to tell a story. It typically features a full orchestra and emphasizes lyrical melodies and vocal performances. This genre often includes operas, operettas, and musicals, showcasing the emotions and experiences of characters through music. While it can be grand and theatrical, lyric theatre is accessible and often reflects contemporary themes. Notable examples include productions like "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Misérables," which are celebrated for their powerful music and engaging narratives.
