Founded in 1954, Lyric Opera of Chicago believes in the life-changing, transformational, revelatory power of great art and opera. Lyric Opera of Chicago exists to provide a broad, deep, and relevant cultural service to the Chicago region and the nation, and to advance the development of the art form of opera by:
• Producing and performing consistently thrilling, world-class opera, with a balanced repertoire that encompasses core classics, lesser-known masterpieces, and new works.
• Creating a diverse, innovative, wide-ranging program of community engagement and education activities that reaches the widest possible public.
My Grandfather, William Fantozzi, First Chair Violin, Lead Conductor CLO, 1938 or so, he played a Fritz Reuters. Aida, bum, bu, ba, bo; and, maybe Beethoven, said Mozart didn't drink as much as Amadeus represented.
08/25/24: The illiteracy of the theatrical world. High school grads, maybe even the ones who only got as far as 9th grade, would have remembered TO LIST THE ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS. What garbage.
If you ever stage this production again, pleeeeease film it - so those of us around the world who love both Hockney and opera have a chance to stream it! ❤️❤️❤️
@@Lorenzo.Giorgi I don't think you can sing or really know about singing. I think you are not use to his skin color singing Italian opera and is hiding this behind "Italian Words".
Jack Swanson is the real deal. I've been following him for 10 years because we're about the same age and it's been amazing to watch his career take off. I absolutely love his voice and his musicality. Bravo!
Would love to have him sing out to American 18-35 year olds to get them fight for Democracy. He'd get their attention. Thanks for letting me find this recording. We need more stars in this fight. Alice Smith, National Voter Corps
