## Resource

Lizzo stunned audiences at Ravinia Festival’s opening night, teaming up with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for a fiery 20-minute performance that blended classical grandeur with her signature pop flair. Conducted by Marin Alsop, the show featured her debut of Giulio Briccialdi’s “Carnival of Venice,” a duet with a rising flutist from the Ravinia Steans Institute, and her own hit “If You Love Me” — a track she wrote specifically for the stage. With her classical flute roots and a passionate plea for music education, Lizzo turned the spotlight on her artistic evolution, even as she navigates recent controversies and chart struggles. The night also spotlighted prodigy Yunchan Lim, who dazzled with Ravel’s Piano Concerto — underscoring Lizzo’s growing trend of symphonic collaborations, from the National Symphony to Ravinia. Is this a comeback? A creative pivot? Or a return to her musical roots? One thing’s for sure — the world is watching.
