Opera Festival of Chicago Presents “Delicatessen Recital”

The Opera Festival of Chicago Young Artists Program, in collaboration with the Accademia Italiana della Cucina,  presents Delicatessen Recital, Thursday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Artifact Events, 4325 N. Ravenswood Ave.

The Opera Festival continues to grow its Young Artists program, a partnership with the opera programs at DePaul University and Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. This season its rising talents perform in this concert inspired by food in opera.

In addition to Delicatessen Recital, the Opera Festival of Chicago’s leading artists then appear in concert for Love is a Triangle, June 14,  at Artifact Events with the season concluding with Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, June 27 and 29 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. 

“The 2025 Festival, our fifth season, is going to be a season of celebration here at the Opera Festival of Chicago. This organization began forging its path in the opera world in 2021 with the mission of presenting Italian opera masterworks that rarely-if ever- grace the stage in the United States,” said General Director Sasha Gerritson. “These fully staged productions featured star-studded casts and have included several United States and Chicago premieres. We look forward to welcoming audiences from all over the Chicagoland area to this year’s season, which is based on a powerful theme, “Love is a Triangle,” and continues our mission in 2025 with concerts and two Italian masterworks.”

Single tickets are $50 with subscriptions available at OperaFestivalChicago.org.
