We believe opera is a living art form.
Chicago Opera Theater is a company laser-focused on living its values of:
expanding the tradition of opera as a living art form and supporting artists who are defining the future of opera;
deepening appreciation for the breadth and depth of operatic storytelling by producing works from throughout history that are new to Chicago audiences;
increasing access to opera for audiences of all ages;
and following through on commitments to equity and access – behind the scenes, on the stage, and in the audience.
