This coming February, audiences can see Susan perform in Berlioz's Marguerite at Lyric Opera of Chicago in La damnation de Faust, opening February 20, 2010 in the second new production she will have done in two seasons, after the Met's last year. That production was transmitted internationally by "The Met: Live in HD" and was one of the biggest hits of the 2008-09 season. "The production features an all-star cast," said the Associated Press review, one of many praising her Marguerite, continuing: "Graham has the ideal voice for Berlioz - a mezzo with a dark richness that blossoms into lush soprano-like tones - and she's a perfect instrument for the devil's seduction of Faust's pure soul." The Lyric Opera of Chicago's new Damnation de Faust production is by Stephen Langridge and George Souglides.
