HOLD YOUR EVENT AT PITTSBURGH OPERA

Your event will definitely stand out in the original George Westinghouse Air Brake Factory, now home to Pittsburgh Opera. The building has the raw industrial feel of an 1869 warehouse that allows you the flexibility to create the ambiance you desire. Pittsburgh Opera is LEED Silver certified in the Operations and Management category, so we encourage you to consider making yours a green event.

Green Rentals

Planning a Green Event takes a little more time and effort, but the rewards to the environment and your organization will be great. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have conserved resources, reduced landfill waste, and shown a commitment to preserving a sustainable quality of life for our community and our world.

Making environmental considerations part of planning for events can make a significant difference in the amount of food, paper and packaging waste generated. Environmental consideration can also result in significant energy savings. More and more businesses are seeing environmental event planning as a cost-effective measure, in addition to creating good public relations and contributing to overall sustainability.

Pittsburgh Opera reduces its rental rates by 10% to all participants willing to host a green event. All participants will need to document the following to Pittsburgh Opera through invoices and receipts:

• Catering must be from a local, sustainable source (within 100 miles)
• Use reusable utensils, dishes and glassware
• Use reusable linens and napkins
• Recycle (events must arrange for volunteers to monitor recycling efforts)
• Use spoons instead of stir sticks (for coffee or alcohol)
• All paper products should be 30% post-consumer recycled content or more

Optional:

• Send out electronic invitations
• Arrange for composting
• Arrange for leftover food to be donated to a local food bank
• Donate floral arrangements after event
• Arrange for shuttles to get participants to the event
