  • My husband and I are big fans of opera, and we were hoping to catch a show while visiting Pittsburgh. Although our visit was scheduled before the new season started, we hit the jackpot when we learned their Rising Stars event was the same weekend of our visit, and get this, it was free! What?! Yes, free, thanks to the RAD program (county sales tax dollars that support local parks, sports, arts/cultural programs). Simply call or e-mail the opera to put your name on the guest list, and you're in! And they have lots of other low cost/free events--concerts in the park, farmers market, and brown bag rehearsal lunches at headquarters. If you are a local, take advantage! The Rising Stars event was held at headquarters, and the agenda for the evening consisted of 6 young resident artists singing their favorite arias and then singing an aria selected by the panel (the opera staff). The resident artists--Taylor Raven, Andy Berry, Shannon Jennings, Eric Ferring, Claudia Rosenthal, Leah De Gruyl, and Brian Vu. Thereafter, the audience got to vote on what aria/artist they wanted to hear as the final one. While the votes were tallied (using their mobile app and also the old fashioned way), the host of the event interviewed the artists about their education, what they did over the summer, how they were adjusting to their new homes in Pittsburgh, and what productions they would be participating in during the upcoming season. All of the artists performed beautifully, and it was interesting to see/hear how a change in the song/aria selected by the panel showcased a different aspect of their voices and theatrical persona. They were all equally charming and gracious when interviewed. And by popular vote, Taylor Raven, a mezzo-soprano, was the the audience choice for final aria for the evening. Congrats Taylor Raven! Isn't that a perfect name for an opera singer? Keep a look/ear out for her and the other resident artists as their stars are on the rise! Thank you Pittsburgh Opera and the resident artists for allowing us to attend this event. It was definitely a highlight in our vacation, and has left us wanting more and wishing we were here for the regular season.
