Loudoun Lyric Opera announces a special event partnership with Loudoun County visual artist Terri Parent for our upcoming LLO Season Finale: Emerging Artist Recital — The Song of the Earth

Terri’s work beautifully captures the sound and story of The Song of the Earth: Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde in Loudoun County. Her photograph “Through the Fog” is the centerpiece of our concert poster and audiences will enjoy more of her work in a special lobby exhibit at the recital.

“Through the Fog” has been shown at the Loudoun Sketch Club and Franklin Park Arts Center. It has won juried awards at Artists in Middleburg and National Photography USA. We are honored to have this work represent the spirit of The Song of the Earth in Loudoun County on our poster and program!

A Recipe for Laughter, Music, and Mischief!

Get ready to preheat your funny bone! Loudoun Lyric Opera serves up Baking with Divas—two hilarious operas (sung in English).

Inspired by the joy (and chaos!) of the kitchen, Bon Appetit! is a lighthearted one-act opera based on Julia’s Child iconic TV show, The French Chef. It is jam-packed with big voices, bigger personalities, and plenty of laughs. The Italian Lesson offers a fast-paced portrait of a formidable Park Avenue matron as she attempts to translate Dante’s Inferno but is repeatedly derailed by her children, servants, gossiping acquaintances, and a mischievous new puppy.

Baking with Divas is perfect for a unique Valentine’s date night or a fun outing with friends.

📅 February 14–22, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM Saturdays | 🕓 4:00 PM Sundays
