Three Pittsburgh arts organizations are joining together to provide a free 90-minute season preview performance for the Pittsburgh community. The free concert event, titled A Landing Ovation, will take place on Thursday, September 24 at 6:00 p.m. The evening will feature performances from Pittsburgh Opera, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and the newly merged Pittsburgh CLO and Pittsburgh Public Theater, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
Live music from the Pittsburgh Opera Orchestra, conducted by Pittsburgh Opera Music Director Antony Walker, will accompany the performances. Widely recognized as one of the hottest talents in the opera field today, Maestro Walker has led over 200 operas, large-scale choral and orchestral works and numerous symphonic and chamber works with companies in Europe, North America, and Australia.
This fun family event will utilize the beautiful new Arts Landing outdoor amphitheater in downtown Pittsburgh. Food trucks will also be on site for the performance. While the event is free to attend, guests are encouraged to register in advance for a chance to win a prize pack of tickets to Fall 2026 performances by Pittsburgh Opera, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and Pittsburgh CLO/Pittsburgh Public Theater.
