Organizer's other events

Join Chicago Opera Theater as we come together for our first Close-Up of the 2022/2023 season discussing none other than the grand King Roger, composed by Karol Szymanowski.

Mirroring a mystical and epic storyline, the music of King Roger is lush, sweepingly Romantic, and calls for massive forces. The colossal chorus for this production will be made up of a trifecta of Chicago singing organizations. For the first time, COT will partner with Chicago’s premiere Polish music and dance organization- the Lira Ensemble whose singers will be represented in the chorus. Apollo Chorus, one of Chicago’s top volunteer choral societies, returns to the COT stage joining the chorus of King Roger and a chorus of children come from Uniting Voices Chicago- the organization formerly known as Chicago Children’s Choir.

Featuring:

The Close-Up will feature an intimate dialogue about epic 20th century work making it’s Chicago Premiere.

You can also expect musical performances by COT's Young Artists.
