OUR MISSION Pittsburgh Opera enriches Pittsburgh and the tri-state area and draws national and international attention to the region by: * creating live opera at the highest standards of artistic excellence; making opera intellectually and financially accessible to a diverse audience * developing young American singers into tomorrow’s artists * and ensuring the future through responsible fiscal management. BRIEF OVERVIEW Established by five intrepid women in 1939, Pittsburgh Opera is viewed as one of the most vibrant opera organizations in the U.S., with a rich artistic tradition, internationally-recognized educational programs, an acclaimed artist training program, and a progressive outlook toward the future. Its green initiative culminated in LEED® Silver certification for its Strip District headquarters, and its capacity as a true community partner has increased significantly under General Director Christopher Hahn’s leadership.
