Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Opera Festival of Chicago plays a vital role in the city’s rich and diverse cultural landscape.

We are one of only a few companies in the world dedicated to producing rarely performed Italian opera masterworks—bringing these extraordinary works, and their cultural context, to a wide audience while creating an inspiring environment for both artists and patrons.

When you make a gift to the Opera Festival of Chicago, you help us:

• Present Italian opera masterpieces that are seldom performed in the United States
• Keep live opera accessible by reducing barriers for audiences
• Train the next generation of opera talent through our immersive, side-by-side Young Artist Program
• Celebrate and share the remarkable talent that comes from the Chicagoland area
• Bring leading opera artists to Chicago stages
