The 7th-8th Grade class took the Metra downtown today for a 1.5-hour tour of the Civic Opera House. Erected in 1929, the house has lost none of its glitter but has made some advancements in technology. The students had access to various props, cat walks, costume rooms, and the orchestra pit during this backstage tour of the Chicago Lyric Opera's home as the hands prepared the stage for the opening night performance of Porgy and Bess. Who knew that opera could be this much fun? Later this school year, students will get to see an actual performance.
