Adults: Opera Insights
OPERA FOCUS
Dig in a little deeper and come to understand what makes Chicago Opera Theater’s productions so special—the people, the unique repertoire we present, and the fact that every production is brand new. Artists and scholars discuss this year’s operas—Moses in Egypt, Jason, and Three Decembers—and articulate how these masterpieces illuminate the world around us.
