Resident Artist Performance Details
The evening’s musical entertainment is an ingenious blend of grand opera, operetta, and musical theater, with an overarching narrative, recalling the Christmas Television Specials of the 1950’s.
Featuring Pittsburgh Opera’s Resident Artists and members of the Pittsburgh Opera Orchestra, and conducted by Glenn Lewis, the program includes selections by Gilbert and Sullivan, other works from the American Songbook, as well as favorites by Johan Strauss and more.
