2021-22 Resident artists

Pittsburgh Opera proudly presents our 2021-22 Resident Artists.

During the course of the 2021-22 season, these talented individuals will perform:

The principal and supporting roles in the fully-staged Pittsburgh Opera productions
Supporting roles, covering, and sometimes principal roles in Pittsburgh Opera's mainstage productions
In programs for public schools, community centers, libraries and corporate events
In regular Brown Bag concerts and special events
At parties hosted by Pittsburgh Opera
