Chicago City Opera

At Chicago City Opera, we believe opera should be intimate, accessible, and shared—on stage and off. Founded in 2019, we produce high-quality performances of beloved repertoire in spaces where the art form can breathe, connect, and surprise.

Our collaborative model sets us apart: performers are deeply involved in the creative process, contributing as key partners to bring bold productions to life.

Thanks to two anonymous donors, all donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. That means your support has double the impact on our artists, productions, and community.

Your donation directly supports:

• Artists who invest their time, talent, and passion

• Productions that make opera deeply human

• A community-driven vision of opera in Chicago
