> Hello!
>  
> I'm writing today to share some exciting news - for the first time ever, Lyric will be offering a Touch Tour on all Audio Described performance dates!  The Touch Tours will take place from 5pm to 6pm on evening performance dates and from 10:30am to 11:30am on the one matinee date. I'll include all the dates at the end of this email. I'm so excited we'll be able to try touch tours this season and I am welcoming any feedback, so please - if you attend, let me know your thoughts, as I anticipate a bit of a learning curve at first.
> In order to get stage access for these newly included touch tours, I did have to change two of the previously planned Audio Described dates: Troyens is now at 1pm on December 3rd (previously November 17th) and Carmen is now at 7:30pm on February 28 (previously February 22). If you currently have tickets to the former Audio Described dates and would like to move to the new Audio Described dates, please let me know.
>  
> Also coming up next week, we will have Lyric from the Inside - a free event from 5pm to 7:30pm that will allow attendees to walk on the Das Rhinegold set. If you're interested in attending, let me know!
>  
> As promised, the full list of Audio Described performances for this season:
>  
> Das Rheingold Wednesday, October 5 at 7:30pm
> Lucia di Lammermoor Wednesday, October 19 at 7:30pm
> Don Quichotte Monday, November 28 at 7:30pm
> Les Troyens (The Trojans) Saturday, December 3 at 1pm
> The Magic Flute Monday, December 12 at 7:30pm
> Norma Wednesday, February 1 at 7:30pm
> Carmen Wednesday, February 28 at 7:30pm
> Eugene Onegin Wednesday, March 8 at 7:30pm
>  
> A final note, I have not yet scheduled Audio Description for any My Fair Lady dates in May of 2017 - so please let me know if there's a performance you'd like to attend!
> Please feel free to call or email me with any questions or concerns. I'm looking forward to this exciting season!
