Chicago Symphony: Opening Night Gala September 20, 2008

Conductor Riccardo Muti returns to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for the first time in more than 30 years to kick off the 2007/08 season. Joining him is soprano Barbara Frittoli, who will perform some of the most beloved opera arias of all time. The program also includes Ravel's 'Bolero.' After the performance, Gala package holders will be transported via trolley to the North Promenade in Millennium Park to enjoy cocktails, dinner, and dancing under a festive tent. Guests with concert-only tickets are invited to a post-concert reception in Buntrock Hall with hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and live music.
