“The Sound of Music” is coming to The Lyric Opera of Chicago!
The beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is an iconic piece of American theater perfect for children, teens, parents and grandparents alike. To celebrate its return to our favorite city, we are proud to announce that the Lyric has teamed up with Make It Better to present the “Sound of Music Sing-to-Win Ticket Giveaway.” Here’s how you can win in the upcoming weeks:
Post a video to Instagram, Twitter or Vine.
Warm up your vocal chords, because it’s time to channel your inner Julie Andrews! To win four free tickets to “The Sound of Music,” upload a quick video of yourself or your child, spouse or friend singing a favorite “Sound of Music” song on Vine or Instagram (have fun with it…the sillier the better!). Use the hashtag #LyricSound, and tag @MakeItBetterNS and @LyricOpera on Twitter and Instagram.
Winners will be chosen leading up to the show. Ready, set, sing!
Answer fun questions on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
