2009-10 Resident Artists
Resident Artists serve as ambassadors for the company, touching the community through participation in programs for public schools, community centers, libraries and corporate events. In addition to performing supporting roles, covering and sometimes performing principal roles in Pittsburgh Opera's mainstage productions, the Resident Artists gain valuable performance experience through regular Brown Bag concerts and special events, such as the annual Cabaret, and parties hosted by Pittsburgh Opera. They also perform all of the principal and supporting roles in a fully-staged Pittsburgh Opera production featuring the Resident Artists at CAPA Theater.
