Chicago Opera Theater Presents The 2012 Annual Gala "A Celebration Less Ordinary" at Carnivale March 11, 2012

On Sunday, March 11th Chicago Opera Theater (COT) will host its 38th Anniversary Gala: A Celebration Less Ordinary at Carnivale (702 West Fulton). The 2012 Gala Committee, led by COT Board Members and Gala Co-Chairs Dorothy Osborn Walton and Robert E. Shapiro, will honor General Director Brian Dickie on his final season with COT and inaugurate The Brian Dickie Outstanding Young Singer Award.

Guests of this less-than-ordinary Gala will enjoy a behind the scenes peek into the world of Chicago Opera Theater filled with Latin-inspired bites and beats from Carnivale; a pulse-raising live auction; a tribute performance by COT performers; and live music provided by Fig Media.

The opera will sizzle at Carnivale from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets range in price from $100 Gala Reception for Young Professionals to $2,500 Benefactor Sponsorship which includes four gala tickets, name recognition, cocktail reception, gala dinner, access to the silent auction and the special performance.
