Chicago Opera Theater is off to a fantastic start this year with three amazing performances in the works. For their spring 2010 season, C.O.T. is proud to present Moses in Egypt, Jason, and Three Decembers.

We are working together with Chicago Opera Theater distributing their mailers to Chicago opera fans. If you attended this past Sunday’s opening performance of The Marriage of Figaro at the Lyric Opera House, you no doubt saw our team in action as they passed out mailers to those making their way to the performance. We will have street team members present at every performance of Figaro in March, so be sure to grab a mailer and learn more about opera less ordinary today!

Just in time for the holiday season, Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire makes it’s way to Harris Theater for a one night stand. In this new production, director Mark DeChiazza uses movement and gesture to connect to the human core of this remarkable melodrama. Dancer Elyssa Dole and legendary soprano Lucy Shelton join Eighth Blackbird for the performance.

In order to help promote, Pierrot we will be distributing posters and flyers in the Chicagoland area. We work fairly regularly with Harris Theater, and are excited to be on board for this latest project.

Eighth Blackbird performs Pierrot Lunaire at the Harris Theater on December 7th.

We’re very excited to be working with Hopera World on their upcoming production at the DuSable Museum of African American History. We’re currently distributing posters and handbills on a number of campuses in the Chicago area to help build awareness and hype for the premier.
