Opera in Focus is featured in Jessica's latest book, "Secret Illinois", which showcases some of the lesser known gems and "best kept secrets" our state has to offer. The Book Launch event for "Secret Illinois" will be taking place this Saturday, November 14th, at Schubas in Lakeview. This event is FREE and open to the public, and we encourage our patrons to attend. If you stop by, be sure to say "Hi" to the Opera in Focus puppeteers who will be in attendance celebrating the release of this amazing book.
