Lithuanian Opera Company of Chicago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lithuanian Opera Company of Chicago was founded by Lithuanian emigrants in 1956,[1] and presents operas in Lithuanian. It celebrated fifty years of existence in 2006, and operates as a not-for-profit organization. It is noteworthy for performing the rarely-staged Rossini's William Tell (1986) and Ponchielli's I Lituani (1981, 1983 and 1991), and also for contributing experienced chorus singers to the Lyric Opera of Chicago.[2]
