Chicago Opera Plans Skyscraper Home At One Million Cost

Chicago, Jan 30 AP Plans for two skyscraper office buildings to house the Chicago Civic Opera company costing between 15 million and 16 million dollars were outlined by Bernard Insull, president of the company. Financing would partly come from short term bonds and sale of preferred stock. The plan envisions razing the present Inge Auditorium to build a new opera house with a larger main floor, fewer boxes, and a site bounded by Madison Washington river and Market Street. Insull predicted long term self sufficiency and funds for education and other musical entertainments. The company, in five years, produced operas with roughly half Italian, one third French, under 15 percent German and about 10 percent English.
