Chicago Opera Theater – Spring 2010 Festival Season

Zeb Resman — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:29:49 +0000

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!
