The Opera Festival of Chicago returns with a season of celebration in its fifth season, May 9 – June 29, 2025 at venues across the greater Chicagoland area.
The 2025 Festival, our fifth season, is going to be a season of celebration here at the Opera Festival of Chicago. This organization began forging its path in the opera world in 2021 with the mission of presenting Italian opera masterworks that rarely-if ever grace the stage in the United States. These fully staged productions feature star-studded casts and have included several US and Chicago premiers. This season, which is based on a powerful theme, “Love is a Triangle,” continues the tradition with two Italian masterworks and several concerts.
-Sasha Gerritson, General Director
The season concludes with one of the pillars of Italian opera and one of the most passionate dramas of all times, Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
