The Mission

We enrich Chicago’s cultural landscape by creating spiritually resonant and intellectually arresting productions of 20th and 21st-century chamber opera. We forge connections between artist and audience through a shared process of reflection, crafting works to revitalize the operatic artform.

Cutting Through the Noise

3000 Hertz is the audible frequency at which the voice’s resonance cuts through that of an orchestra, also known as the singer’s formant. Our name embodies the spirit of cutting through the “noise” that so often distracts from art.

At 3000 Hz™ Opera Lab we are working to create new and exciting performances inherently worthy of their artform. We will reimagine the standard practices and policies that might distract from the aspirations of our company and its productions.

Innovation Alongside Tradition
