Pittsburgh Opera hosts its annual Rising Stars concert in the Opera’s Strip District headquarters. Rising Stars, a RADical Days event, is the community’s first opportunity to meet the incoming Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artists. This performance is free and open to everyone.

At Rising Stars, each Resident Artist first performs a selection of his or her own choosing, followed by one chosen by General Director Christopher Hahn. A final aria to conclude the concert is selected by the audience.

This free event is very popular, but we are asking that all guests register in advance. Please RSVP by calling 412-281-0912 ext. 215, or by registering online.

Please note that the Pittsburgh Opera garage is available only for handicapped parking, by reservation. Handicapped parking reservations must be received by 4:00PM Friday, October 1.  Reserve a handicapped parking spot for Rising Stars via email, or call 412-281-0912 ext 3.
