Pittsburgh Opera's 16th Annual Piano Sale August 24-27



Pittsburgh Opera will be hosting its eagerly-anticipated annual piano sale at its headquarters the Bitz Opera Factory, at 2425 Liberty Ave. in the Strip District from Thursday, August 24th through Sunday, August 27th. Over 100 pianos will be available.

Patrons wishing to attend the sale must make an appointment by either calling 412-454-5555 or registering online at pittsburghoperapiano.com.

Every year, Pittsburgh Opera receives a free loan of new pianos from Solich Piano – Yamaha’s Dealer of the Year - for rehearsal, coaching, and performance needs. To support this ongoing loan program, these and other fine pianos are offered for sale after each season. All pianos are sold at institutional prices not normally available in retail stores.

In addition to the gently-used pianos which have been loaned to Pittsburgh Opera, the sale will include a wide range of brand-new Yamaha grands, uprights, digitals, hybrids, and Disklavier player pianos, as well as other used pianos being sold at significant discounts. Pianos include top-quality brands such as Yamaha, Bösendorfer, Clavinova, Baldwin, Estonia and others. All of the pianos - new and loaned - come with manufacturer warranties and technical services. Delivery and special financing is available.

All patrons who come in for the sale can enter a drawing to win a free pair of season tickets to Pittsburgh Opera’s upcoming 2023-24 season’s Benedum Center productions, which includes Rossini’s charming comedy The Barber of Seville, Verdi’s beloved La Traviata, and their first performances of Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman in twenty years.

Mon Valley Fans of Live Theater Get a Sumptuous Taste of Future Possibilities

The Cast of "What Do I Wear, 2,500 Tears of Fashion in Theatre" Credit all Photos: Kelly Tunney     The Mon Valley YMCA in Monongahela never looked so festive, so blatantly celebratory, as on the evening of April 13 when a troupe of 16 actors arrived with a trailer full of colorful costumes, many of which were quite elaborate.     The audience barely understood the full depth of the dazzle that awaited them as they took their seats for an event exuberantly titled “What Do I Wear, 2,5000 Years of Fashion in Theatre.”     The fundraiser for Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre was the brainchild of PICT’s artistic director, Elizabeth Elias Huffman. Elizabeth Huffman at the Podium     Huffman conceived of an idea that called for choosing selections from plays that started with the era of the ancient Greeks, marched on through Elizabethan England and Shakespeare, popped in on Restoration England via an American playwright, hopped over to Germany at the time of Schiller, touch

Welcome to Fairyland - The Pittsburgh Savoyards Stage an Enchanting Iolanthe or The Peer and the Peri

      Peter Pan has one, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has a slew and Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, as staged by the Pittsburgh Savoyards, has at least ten - before I stopped counting. Fairies, that is.     Just after the opening overture, performed by the 30-plus orchestra, possibly as best as I ever heard it under the baton of Guy Russo, a bevy of maiden fairies dressed in pastel gossamer fairy garb with wings, frolicked across the stage gleefully singing in full-voiced and stunning harmony ”Tripping hither, tripping thither.”     There was little to no tripping, however, as they danced nimbly to the spirited song, then segued into expressing their discomfort at the loss of Iolanthe (Savannah Simeone), the one fairy who brought such happy song and spirit to their fairy circle.     For such a blissful group there were some draconian laws that govern their behavior, namely, if one were to marry a mortal, they should be put to death. Alas, poor Iolanthe.     Due t
