Cleaner version of my earlier (deleted) comment: That doesn't surprise me. It's Chicago. NYC, LA, Boston, etc. don't have what we have. This only adds to the appeal of our modern day city (a marriage of timeless/old, with sleek modern).
Thanks for bringing some attention to Chicago's gorgeous art deco Civic Opera House. But it is not, as stated, in The Loop, but some blocks to the west of it. Also, the building itself does not face west. All entrances are through the block long colonnade along the eastern façade. However, the building does look like a giant throne, and anyone seated on the throne would be facing full west, looking across the South Branch of the Chicago River towards the equally fine art deco Daily News building. There are also box seats in the theater, but only above the back of the main floor, not along the sides as in most European opera houses.
Thank you. I didn't even bother to watch the video. I hate when light piano jazz is featured in videos like these. Pair that with a young female narrating. Horrible.
I'm glad they put that Lyric word in there otherwise how would anyone ever know ? Do other countries do that or just America ? Kinda sounds like Film Theater or Music Opera .
@@andylivstirling I have to agree with you about the video itself, but with the original post about the music: too loud for the background of a narrated video.
The most beautiful Opera house in the nation.
It doesn't surprise me. Chicago takes its fine arts TOO SERIOUSLY. Why wasn't this a target of terrorists?

I have spent many an enjoyable night in this opera house. The tour of the house is well worth it. The overpowering background music has to go!

I’m sorry to be rude but I couldn’t deal with this video being so unprofessional and back music hit a nerve
Yeah your being very rude! I thought it was a great video, I got a lot if information from it!
