The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra also performed at the Lyric Opera House until moving to another venue in 1982, and before it went into liquidation in 2009, the Baltimore Opera Company called the Lyric home. Some of the most renowned conductors in recent history have led musical performances at the Lyric Opera House Baltimore, and among the orchestras that have performed are the Metropolitan Opera and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
This performance is regarded as one of the greatest Lyric Opera House performances to date. That year also saw Enrico Caruso perform with the Metropolitan Opera Company. It wasn't all about boxing and cooking in 1905, however. In 1905, a boxing match featuring the lightweight champion of the day was held there, and that same year, an electric cooking exhibition was the highlight of the Food Show. The acoustics of the hall are undeniably high quality, though it is interesting to note that some of the earliest Lyric Opera House Performances weren't of the musical variety. After the inaugural 1894 performance, which featured the Boston Symphony Orchestra and famed Austrian soloist Nellie Melba, Melba made it a point to remark on the venue's perfect acoustics. Some music critics have gone as far as saying that the Lyric Opera House Baltimore exhibits better acoustics than the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.
