Inspired By Opera For All

Matt McNabb, Opera for All Teaching Artist

As we approach the end of a truly inspiring year of Opera for All, I want to take this moment to thank the amazing people that I have the privilege to call colleagues and friends. Thanks to my amazingly talented fellow teaching artists, everyone at Chicago Opera Theatre, all of the staff members at my CPS schools, our guest artists throughout the year, the supportive families and of course the students, who brought energy and joy to our operas this year. These are just a few words that come to mind as I reflect on all of our accomplishments:
