So we thought it would be amusing to have a competition to guess where I am these ten days, with some occasional pictorial clues to help you along the way. The prize for the first person who pinpoints my position within five miles will get two subscriptions to our 2008 season at the Harris. The next four will receive two tickets for the performance of their choice during our season. Those who already know where I am are naturally excluded from competing and I hope that everyone will play fair.
It is perhaps realistic to assume that contestants will be within easy reach of Chicago. And I expect that many of them are already COT subscribers. But here is your opportunity to introduce your friends, who have not yet had the treat of seeing COT, to the unexpected pleasures of "Opera Less Ordinary" - our new tag line!
I will post four or five pictures here during the next six days which will gradually give more clues to the location. The first clue of course is the clock you see to the right which gives the time zone. But the first picture gives no additional clue of any precision other than the general latitude. But check back and there will be little hints. And for those who know this part of the world well they may even recognize the odd geographical feature.
The last picture will certainly answer the riddle for the observant and curious – but you will have to wait until Friday for that.
Instructions as to how to enter will appear here on Wednesday.
