Why am I crying!?
Any news about a Blu-Ray, DVD, or video download of the entire production?
Why don't you mention the slave trade which existed IN Africa (Africans buying and selling other Africans) for many hundreds of years BEFORE Europeans started transporting slaves to the Americas? Or that about 90% of those black African slaves were sold TO the Europeans BY other black Africans? Or that, many years BEFORE this, Europeans were taken as slaves by Africans?....and how Britain, after freeing some of it's citizens from those Africans (at huge expense, money-wise) found it was much cheaper to pay "protection money" to ensure their ships weren't stolen, and their citizens weren't enslaved? Why didn't you mention Madam Efunroye Tinubu, who grew rich by trading her fellow blacks? ....she was trading slaves long AFTER Britain had banned slavery....Nigerians are so proud of her, that there is a statue of her in Tinubu Square in Lagos, and another in Abeokuta!!... Britain, of course, after slavery was banned there, actively fought to stop slavery....while Africans were still buying and selling their own.... It seems we have double standards from you, Mr Martin!!
I remember doing a concert version of this at BAM while it was only three characters ( I sung Prince). It's wonderful to see how it has evolved.
Fabulous presentation. Thank you Steve, and Errollyn!
fabulous presentation, perhaps....but see my comment, if you prefer truth!
Go Morgan!! You are so talented
Do you know what company did the animations for this video? Thanks.
.
wish someone would produce and film this.
I'd order the Blu-Ray or DVD immediately! C'mon, COT!
Is there anywhere I can get a copy of this show? Video? Soundtrack? Book?

The late Steve Ramsey (later station manager at sister station KTLA) was WGN's news director at the time.
perfect
Wonderful ... don't be stopping now ...
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this. Strength and love
absolutely beautiful.
This is great. Can we see the full version of House of Usher.
My right ear got lonely.
Just saw this performed at the Honeywell Center by the Manchester Symphony Orchestra. It was amazing!
What an awful promotion clip. Revolting schtik by that woman. Stop promoting this pushy, BULLYING type of behavior -- even if only make-believe.
74 years old... ❤
Okay I don't really want to be that person but couldn't you cast a onlegged cast member instead
?
Adolfo Bioy Casares ?
por si no lo sabias es autor latinoamericano de ciencia ficción. entre otra obras de distintos géneros
@@carlosgonzaloh Bien sûr que je le connais et que je l'apprécie depuis longtemps ! Je voulais seulement faire remarquer à Chicago Opera Theater COT que son nom aurait dû apparaître sur la publication...
Outstanding !
Saw the opera tonight. OMG!! Still can't go to sleep. Fantastic!
Looking forward to seeing the opera.
Beautiful voice. More please!
Stunning!
OH MAN. I've been trying to turn Invention of Morel into a play for the past 10 years. Turning it into an Opera AND a VR Experience is a PHENOMENAL IDEA. Congrats to all involved (and take it to NYC next please!!)
I can't wait! Philip Glass!
You rock Stewart!
Congratulatios Stewart Copeland, every thing you do is magic! Greetings
This better get released in some shape or form, cause I cannot go to Chicago.
Brilliant!!!
I'm going to move to Chicago next year can't wait!!!
I remember Christopher Remmel when he was 13 years old and singing in his voice teacher's vocal workshops. I knew his voice was something special even back then.
I'm so happy that this show is so successful! I had the privilege of seeing the production in Long Beach, CA last year. Good luck! Sita Milchev, granddaughter of Ernest Bloch sitam@earthlink.net
Thank you for providing these insights into your production of Bloch's Macbeth. All the best! Frank Geltner, Volunteer with the Ernest Bloch website -- www.ernestbloch.org.
Singing generally very good, especially the baritone. Music showed that Verdi was on his way to becoming a great composer......I thought the machine guns at the end were in extremely poor taste given the recent mass killings,,,,,,,a huge turn off
sure is spectacular and it can definitely be considered with the big 3.
fantastico!
