The Chicago opera theater was founded in 1974 by Alan Stone to give the students a chance to perform. It started as an amateur effort and later got transformed into a professional venture.

The Chicago Opera Theater presents works in a fresh perspective. The works include new compositions by famous composers or Classical stories set in a modern background.
