BENEFITS OF GIVING

THE 2013 SEASON


All great changes start with ONE person who takes the first step in a new direction. Chicago Opera Theater would not exist without the generous support of its family and friends. At COT, we are embarking on a new journey: to become a company that by 2017 will bring you five operas of high artistic excellence each season. In addition to our main stage season at the Harris Theater, we will also take you to non-traditional spaces in Chicago’s neighborhoods. Together, and with your generous contribution, we can break new ground and bring more engaging operas to Chicago. We thank you for your support, in part by offering the following benefits:
