Opera Illinois, in Peoria, Illinois, is Illinois' only full time professional opera company outside of Chicago. Performances draw the finest singers from around both the country and the world to stand center stage with some of Central Illinois' talented artists in the chorus and live orchestra. Opera Illinois performs a variety of repertoire from Puccini to Mozart to Wagner, presenting the music in their original languages. For those operas in Italian, French, or German, Opera Illinois provides the added benefit of "supertitles," projected translations of the text that appear above the stage. Performances are done throughout the Peoria area, at locations such as Northwoods Community Church and the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Past show highlights have included HMS Pinafore, Cosi fan tutte, Die Fledermaus, Madama Butterfly, and Don Giovanni.
