Room Rates and Capacities

Pittsburgh Opera has two primary rental spaces, which can be rented separately or together. We do not rent them separately to two different parties at the same time.

The larger of the spaces is the George R. White Opera Studio (the “GRW”). The smaller is the Founders’ Room. You can learn more about each of them below.
