Food for Thought: Behind the Scenes at Pittsburgh Opera

Wednesday, February 04, 2026 to Wednesday, February 04, 2026
5:30 PM

Location: The Pittsburgh Golf Club
5280 Northumberland Street
Pittsburgh, PA

 

Step behind the curtain with Christopher Hahn, General Director of the Pittsburgh Opera, as he shares unforgettable moments from his 26 years with the company. In this rare, intimate evening, Hahn will regale us with stories that never make it into program notes: the unexpected breakthroughs, the artistic gambles, the backstage dramas that shaped legendary performances, and the mysteries of how an opera company turns vision into magic night after night—and continues to draw crowds.

Between Hahn’s stories, you’ll be treated to a live performance from Pittsburgh Opera’s Resident Artists.

 

An evening of elegance, intrigue, and extraordinary talent—one you won’t want to miss.
