Carnaval! is a party celebrating the end of the holiday season before the introspection of Lent begins, culminating in Mardi Gras, French for “Fat Tuesday.” Lyric Theatre @ Illinois will celebrate with music and dance from Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil—from operatic favorites to cabaret, musical theatre, salsa, tango, and more. Bring your Mardi Gras masks, dress up, and join the fun in the Krannert Center Lobby at 6 pm.
