Taking turns at an onstage piano, the dual tribute artists of the Billy Joel/Elton John Face-2-Face Tribute Show conjure the beloved songsters in both sound and image.

Backed by some the best and most sought after musicians in the business, Levittown NY native MIKE SANTORO’s fingers flash up and down the keys on “Angry Young Man” before he belts out high-energy Billy Joel classics such as “Movin Out”, “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant” and more.

Following Santoro’s set, of the roughly three-hour show, RONNIE SMITH dons the iconic sunglasses and bedazzled suits of Elton John as he charts his style from the ‘70s to the present. Timeless anthems such as “Tiny Dancer” and the epictreasure “Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” mixed with more whimsical material such as “Crocodile Rock” and the fictional rock-group narrative “Bennie and the Jets.”

For the 3rd act, both artists hit the stage for THE grand finale, trading the spotlight with more of the best of Billy Joel and Elton John. For over a decade, this event is not one to be missed!

Chicago Lithuanian Opera proudly presents its 70th Anniversary production of Friedrich von Flotow’s Martha (,,Marta”) — a celebration of music, heritage, and generations united through song.

Stage Director – Nerijus Petrokas
Conductor – Julius Geniusas
Music Director of the Chicago Lithuanian Opera – Nida Grigalaviciute  
Choreographer – Donatas Bakejus

Performed by the Chicago Lithuanian Opera Chorus, together with renowned soloists from Lithuania and USA, the Opera Choreographic Group, and accompanied by Orchestra “Regalis,” this extraordinary production honors seven decades of unwavering dedication to preserving Lithuanian culture in the diaspora.

For 70 years, Chicago Lithuanian Opera has been more than a stage — it has been a living bridge between homeland and community, between past and future.

Martha (,,Marta”) is a romantic comic opera by Friedrich von Flotow, first premiered in Vienna in 1847. Set in 18th-century England, the story follows Lady Harriet (who disguises herself as “Martha”) and her companion as they playfully enter a rural hiring fair, only to unexpectedly fall in love with two honest farmers.

The opera is full of charm, humor, unexpected identities, and sincere romance. It features one of the opera’s most famous arias — Lyonel’s “M’appari.” Martha offers beautiful melodies, a light intrigue, and a warm, uplifting finale — a wonderful afternoon of classical opera for all audiences.

Performed in the Lithuanian language.
Approximate run time: 2.5 hours, including intermission.
Parking available near the theatre
