Chamber Opera Chicago invites you to attend a tribute to one of our favorite composers, Gian Carlo Menotti, Pulitzer prize-winner and composer of much-loved operas and long-running Broadway hits. The New York Times applauded Menotti's "human drama and first rate theatre…written from the heart with a blazing sincerity."

Don't miss this FREE preview performance of selected excerpts from our upcoming program, A Brilliant Life, A Brilliant Night, co-sponsored by the Chicago Cultural Center. This exciting Menotti showcase will feature director Francis Menotti, son of Gian Carlo and Artistic Director of the famous Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy, and conductor Victoria Bond, a lecturer for the New York Philharmonic and familiar face to Chamber Opera Chicago audiences.
