STAGE LIFTS

This historic photo shows the mechanism underneath the stage when the Civic Opera House was built.

CURRENT

Installing a custom-designed telescopic scissor-lift system will make the stage more easily adaptable to the demands of modern productions. An upgraded system will streamline current ad hoc and time-consuming solutions implemented by Lyric’s crew, such as the mechanics shown in this photo from Lyric’s Parsifal in 2013.

Seed funding for these important infrastructure projects is already committed. However, additional support is crucial for achieving our overall goals.
