Great Lakes Operetta To Present OPERETTA AROUND THE WORLD

Great Lakes Operetta's inaugural 2024-2025 season continues with its second concert: Operetta Around the World: A Concert of Light Opera Gems from Across the Globe.

This fundraising concert will celebrate operetta's global popularity with a program featuring 32 fabulous songs (from 25 composers representing 17 nations) in their original languages, performed by a cast of 42 talented musicians from the greater Chicago area. Enjoy a trip around the world as you listen to some of operetta's greatest hits - and hidden gems - sung in 10 different languages by some of Chicago's finest singers!

Two performances will be presented at Irving Park Lutheran Church (3938 West Belleplaine Ave, Chicago IL).
