Adults

We welcome all patrons to enjoy opera, a rich and exciting art form full of sounds, sights, and music.
  

Audio Commentary

Pittsburgh Opera offers this service for patrons with visual impairments during Tuesday performances at the Benedum Center. By using Infrared hearing devices, patrons can hear the supertitles read simultaneously with their appearance on the screen, as well as hear descriptions of the set, characters, and costumes.

Braille and Large-Print programs are available at each performance. Infrared hearing devices are available at Benedum Center.
