Chicago Opera Theater for Teens at Solorio Academy High School

In collaboration with the City of Chicago’s After School Matters program, COT offers Chicago Opera Theater for Teens at Solorio Academy High School. Students from many different backgrounds come together for this out of school time program throughout the school year and over the summer. Through an interview process, 30 students receive a stipend to study vocal technique, drama, opera and musical theater staging and production, learn about college and career opportunities each semester, and become part of a close nit group within their school and community. The Chicago Opera Theater for Teens are often seen performing around the city of Chicago.
