From an email I received:

Over the years, Chef Paul Wildermuth wowed customers and critics alike with his passion for Asian Cuisine. Chef Wildermuth has now embarked on a study of the five distinct Chinese culinary traditions. As part of his ongoing regional focus, Opera will offer these value-driven opportunities. Chef Wildermuth will present a special menu every Tuesday and Wednesday. These menus will offer an amuse, an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert for $25.

This will give our customers an opportunity to experience Chef Wildermuth’s study of the traditional and modern Chinese techniques. These areas are Szechwan, Hunan, Canton, Peking and Mandarin. These menus will begin on Tuesday, July 19th and Wednesday, July 20th and are available throughout the evening. They will continue for the remainder of the year. We look forward to seeing all of you at Opera soon to participate in this wonderful culinary odyssey. Beverage, tax and tip are not included in the price.

Opera is located at 1301 S. Wabash in Chicago. Reservations may be made by calling 312-461-0161. Our website is www.opera-chicago.com
