WQED-FM radio broadcasts are the perfect way to catch up on the past and upcoming seasons of Pittsburgh Opera.
- WQED-FM broadcasts each of Pittsburgh Opera's previous-season productions, in their entirety, in the weeks leading up to our new season's opening night. If a production was sold out, or you just want to hear your favorite arias again, WQED-FM's broadcasts are a great way to hear these performances. See the schedule below for details.
- Hosted by WQED’s Anna Singer, the Pittsburgh Opera Preview Shows are half-hour previews of each upcoming opera. Each 30-minute Preview Show is broadcast twice before each production opens (the Saturday before opening night, and again the night before opening night), giving listeners an in-depth introduction to the opera’s singers, music, and production.

"'WHERE CAN WE TAKE YOU?' MOMENTS" SEPT. 16-OCT. 4, 2024
As we build up to opening night of Tosca, Pittsburgh Opera is opening up our vaults to release daily opera moments on WQED-FM!
Each weekday for three consecutive weeks from Monday, September 16th through Friday October 4th, WQED-FM will be broadcasting a specially selected Pittsburgh Opera audio clip at 5:30PM.
These "'Where can we take you?' moments" will take you to such far-flung locales as Seville, Paris, the Black Forest, ancient Egypt, the royal palace of Babylon, and more, all from the convenience of your car or home.
Take a breath of fresh aria on your commute home from work!
