The lyric opera house in Baltimore is one of the best opera houses found in the State. It is located in midtown Baltimore 10 minutes away from the inner harbor and two blocks from the Penn station. Many exciting performances have happened here since 1983 when it was opened. The hall has a large seating capacity that has been renovated over the years to make sure it is comfortable. Several events take place here and you can get tickets to enjoy various performances of your choice.

The Lyric has plenty of space that is available for rent. These can be used for different occasions such as receptions, parties, performances and conferences. Rental space in the opera house includes an auditorium that holds 2,564 seats, the grand tier lobby, the lower level lobby, rehearsal hall and the Decker board room.

Other than concerts and performances, the theatre has also hosted board meetings, wedding receptions and numerous parties. To be on the safe side you should book the place you want to use early enough to avoid disappointments. Holds are usually placed for identified events as long as there is no lease agreement in place.

The hold confirmation should be emailed or faxed, 45 days before the date you will hold your event. Customers are normally served on a first come first pay basis to discourage discrimination. Deposit is placed 2 days before the event. The lyric does not have a policy that protects similar act bookings within a given time frame like gospel rock etc.

The Lyric Opera House is not only the home of the Baltimore Opera company, but also of diverse music acts, comedians, family programs and Broadway shows as well.

It has a theater with a carrying capacity of 2,564 in Mount Royal. The Lyric House was officially inaugurated in 1894 as the Music Hall with performances by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Here, you will get hearing devices that come for free and provided to all visitors. "The Coat Room" at a corner of "The Main Lobby" is the place wherein the hearing devices are distributed. If you are looking for food you can have them in the lobby only. Same goes for beverages too.

The theater has a lobby that is spacious enough to hang out for quite some time before the show starts. While performances are on, do keep in mind that you should not take cameras with you. Taking video equipments is also considered to be an offence. If you want to avoid rush, you can reach the house early as the door meant for entrance opens 45 minutes before the show starts.

2. Parking facility at Lyric Opera House

Parking space available here is limited. It is noticed that due to shortage of parking space, vehicles are parked at illegal parking area. This should be avoided as such spaces are provided either for unloading of trucks or needs to be cleared within 4:00 pm.

You can go for other parking facilities: there's a garage close to "Maryland Avenue", which can be rented for a period of three hours by paying $15. Two other garages viz. "Symphony Garage" on Cathedral Drive and "Symphony Centre Garage" at the back of Meverhoff can provide shelter to your vehicle after 6:00 pm.

If you have an elaborated plan for exploring the city of Baltimore, do not forget to pay a visit to Lyric Opera House.
