Description

Chicago Opera Theater's Opera For All Program was established in September 2000 in partnership with the Chicago Public Schools. As part of this program, COT teaching fellows are charged with developing close working relationships with the principal, teachers, and parents of COT's partner schools to build awareness of music and opera in the school community.

Founded in 1974, Chicago Opera Theater has carved a significant place for itself in the operatic life of Chicago. Under the leadership of General Director Brian Dickie, COT has become the company to watch with its wide range of operatic repertoire that includes the greatest works of the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries. The 2005 season will be no exception, featuring the operas La Resurrezione, Le nozze di Figaro, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

COT opened the 2004 season in its new home, the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park. This modern, state-of-the-art theater is conveniently located at 205 E. Randolph.
