Scope and content
A selection of newspaper articles from 2001-2004 from local newspapers such as Highland Park News, The Chicago Tribune, the News Sun, and others, and an entry on the HPG magazine from 2005. The articles contain interviews from founder Marla Forbes, musical director Francesco Milioto, baritone opera singer Eric McKeever, opera singer Sarah Gartshore, and opera singer Denise Finneran. The contents of the articles range from discussion of the founding of Opera Theatre North, who changed its name in 2003 from Highland Park Opera Theatre, to its expansion and growing audience in the Highland Park community and beyond. Particular topics include the impact of the 09/11 attacks on art and culture funding for Opera Theatre North and other art and cultural organizations in the Highland Park community, and the expansion of the outreach program designed to introduce elementary school students to opera through its accessible narrative format.
