Opera + da Bears = Chicago

Bear Down, Chicago Bears sung by Lyric Opera's Bryan Griffin

A comment on YouTube on this video:

Only in Chicago does the opera come out and support the football team. We were at the Lyric on Saturday night for Fledermaus and for the bows, the entire cast came out waving Bears banners, wearing Bears scarves and hats. Love the Lyric. Love the Bears. Love Chicago.


In 1985 (the last the Bears were in the Super Bowl), my mom had a symphony concert on the Sunday afternoon of one of the playoff games. The Chicago Symphony started the program with a symphonic version of Bear Down Chicago Bears. Needless to say, the crowd went wild.

I love it! I wish We could watch the game but we'd never manage to stay up that late. I'll just have to read the Trib on Monday morning and get the result.
