- **Event Description**: ♟️ CMT Mainstage Presents: CHESS

A rock opera. A cold war. A love triangle. And the most intense chess match you've ever seen.

CMT Mainstage brings you Chess May 8–16, performed at the Montgomery Theater in downtown San Jose.

From the legendary collaborators behind some of rock music's greatest moments, Chess is a complex rock opera that transforms the ancient game into a gripping metaphor for romantic rivalry, superpower politics, and international intrigue.

At the heart of the story is a love triangle: a brash American chess champion, an earnest Russian contender, and a Hungarian-American woman who arrives at the international championship in Bangkok. From Bangkok to Budapest, players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate each other against the pulse of a monumental rock score featuring "One Night in Bangkok" and "Heaven Help My Heart."
