One of the top opera companies in thd USA. I would say it is about the same level as the San Francisco Opera. It is doing one of Wagner's Ring operas each year since 2016. It will do all four in 2020. Each season great operas are staged, many of them blockbusters. Recently there were issues between the player's union and the management, culminating in a recent strike. I am not sure if things are resolved for the long term. In the mean time I am thankful there is a good opera company in Chicago.
