Chicago Opera Theater
4/24/2010 7:30 PM at Cavalli’s GIASONE
Harris Theater at Millennium Park, 205 East Randolph, Chicago, Illinois 60601
Cost: $30+
Cavalli cleverly mixed the myth of Jason and the Argonauts with bawdy humor, breaking all the operatic rules of the day. The result: Giasone became the most popular opera of the 17th century because of its appeal to the aristocracy and everyday people alike. Despite its stature in the operatic repertoire, this is the first time Giasone will be performed by a professional opera copmany in Chicago. Chicago Opera Theater continues its mission of bringing never-performed-here works to this city. (Sung in Italian with English supertitles). http://www.chicagooperatheater.org/tix/season/giasone.html
