Opera for the Masses: Don Giovanni in Chicago’s Millenium Park

by Gray on April 10th, 2008

CHICAGO OPERA THEATER, HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE, MILLENNIUM PARK, AND MILLENNIUM PARK, INC. TO PRESENT FIRST-EVER FREE LIVE SIMULCAST PRESENTATION OF AN OPERA IN CHICAGO HISTORY, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2008

That’s right - Millenium Park, really, is worth visiting even when the Chicago Opera Theater is not there; the architecture, the Bean, the video art sculpture, it’s a real example of public art done right.

But this is even more of an example of public arts done right - two 20,000 lumen projectors will be doing a “live simulcast” to a projected crowd of 11,000 eager opera fans (and opera-fans-in-waiting). And it’s FREE. It’s nice to see the traditional arts taking part in such a Social Media type promotion…
