I was lucky enough to attend the opening of Jenůfa at the @LyricOpera yesterday afternoon. The dark 3-act by Czech composer Janáček was an impressive production.

Proud to count the Lyric and so many of our city's premier cultural institutions as partners of @ChooseChicago.
Congratulations to all the Chicago chefs and restaurateurs behind the establishments recognized at last night's Michelin awards ceremony in NYC! Couldn't be prouder of our city.

Thank you to all who attended @ChooseChicago and @WorldBizChicago's inaugural Why Chicago Network convening and @chicagobiennial preview in the Thompson Center atrium yesterday evening.
And thanks to our SVP of Sales & Services Dustin Arnheim for filling in while I'm home sick!
Don't forget that tonight is Arts in the Dark! The annual Halloween parade steps off from State & Lake at 6 PM.
Looking forward to welcoming international reporters and having them experience this incredible showcase of talent and cultural diversity.

@ChooseChicago so excited to see the runners and the supportive crowds out for @ChiMarathon. This is an event so loved by all Chicagoans!
I loved the energy at Burnham Downs with all of the young Messi fans ahead of last night's @ChicagoFire game against @InterMiamiCF.
They didn't get to see their idol play but they clearly enjoyed the fabulous youth engagement activities from our hometown team.
Today @ChooseChicago, @ChicagoDCASE, and
@LoCTindustry launched #TheaterSeason in Chicago!
You can buy ticket for a show and support live theater in Chicago here: tinyurl.com/5n6jtwpx
Chicago's live theater scene is peerless in the Midwest and one of the most vibrant in the world.
However, audiences have been slow to return to their pre-pandemic theater-going habits and, as a result, many of our local nonprofit theater companies continue to struggle.
Yesterday was a big day for Chicago!
On top of announcing that we won Best Big City in the @CNTravel Reader's Choice Awards for a record 7th year in a row, I got to join @ChicagosMayor at the official opening of @BallysChicago--our city's first casino!
Bally's Chicago has the potential to generate tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue to fund public services and to serve as yet another major attraction in our central business district.
The results are in: Chicago has been named Best Big City in the U.S. for the SEVENTH YEAR IN A ROW by the annual @CNTraveler Reader's Choice Awards!
Thanks to the @ChooseChicago staff, our board, our partners, and all Chicagoans who make our city rise above the rest!
