Chicago Opera Theatre has recently moved to the downtown Harris Theater in the Millennium Park. Chicago Opera Theatre was founded by Alan Stone in 1974, with the idea of giving music students a place to perform.

Over the years, the Chicago Opera Theatre has transformed into an important professional production group. Watch world class dance and music performances at this Chicago theatre which is equipped with a state of the art acoustic system, a seating capacity of 1400 and an artsy modern feel.

The theatre aims to put up high class performance from the greatest works of 17th to the 20th century. In the past, the theatre has been graced by performances by great names such as Claudio Monteverdi and Benjamin Britten.

Chicago Opera Theatre is neighbored by the famous Chicago Theater and Chicago Cultural Center.

As you know, no trip to Chicago is complete without having the famous Chicago Pizza. So order a deep dish pizza at Giordanos located nearby. Later, step into the Govnors Pub for some beers. The crowd is friendly and the place has a very casual feel. On the more uppish side, look up House of Blues - a swanky spot with a lively and chic crowd where the food is delicious and the music quite trendy.

You can splurge into luxury at the The Fairmont Chicago located less than half a mile away from the theatre. Or you can stay at the Hotel Monaco Chicago, close to smart shopping and trendy live music spots.
