We hope you can
join us on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 for a truly historic occasion. On that night, the Auditorium Theatre will
officially recognize our 125th anniversary with the most significant
and extravagant gala this National Historic Landmark has ever seen. The
black-tie event will feature an evening of music, movement and memories
celebrating the Auditorium Theatre’s incredible 125 years.
The spectacular
entertainment for the Auditorium Theatre’s 125th gala will be an
homage to our long history of exceptional programming, and will include: the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric
Opera of Chicago, the Joffrey Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the
Apollo Chorus, a rock concert composed of legendary Chicago musicians, and the emcee of the evening, Emmy-nominated actor, John Mahoney. In a scheduling coup of pure symmetry, one of
the headliners, the world-renowned and Tony-Award winning Broadway sensation,
Ms. Patti LuPone, happens to be the great-grandniece (and namesake) of Adelina
Patti, the opera star who performed on the Auditorium Theatre’s stage during
opening night in 1889.
Please join us for
one of the Auditorium Theatre’s most memorable events in recent memory. Our 125th gala celebration will be
an acknowledgement of all the Auditorium Theatre has achieved—and the limitless
possibilities that remain.
