Classical music is popular in the City of Big Shoulders.

"Not a lot of classical music performances sell out nowadays. The time when Lyric Opera of Chicago could sell 103 percent of its capacity (because of people handing back tickets they couldn’t use as a donation) is nearly 30 years in the past.

"However, this fall sees some scarcity creeping back into the classical sphere. Haymarket Opera Company’s September production of Monteverdi’s “L’Orfeo”: sold out."

"String Quartet No. 13 in G major, Op. 106," composed by Antonin Dvorak, performed by the Jupiter String Quartet.
