Pittsburgh Opera's Intermezzo was a daily dose of operatic escape during the Coronavirus pandemic

 

During this time of #SocialDistancing, we are unable to share our art with you live onstage at the Benedum Center. But perhaps now more than ever we believe in the power of music and the human voice to heal, to uplift, and to unite.

That’s why we are proud to bring you Intermezzo. Intermezzo was a daily dose of operatic escape, delivered virtually instead of in-person. Intermezzo featured daily videos from past Pittsburgh Opera performances, as well as serenades by our Resident Artists, who sent virtual greetings from their homes.

Our 50th and final Intermezzo video on May 10th, coincided with what would have been the last day of our 2019-20 season. Director of Marketing & Communications Chris Cox sent a Mother's Day greeting to all the moms out there, and introduced the finale of our 2018 production of Donizetti's The Elixir of Love. This video is generoulsy sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Pittsburgh Opera would like to thank everyone who submitted 'introductory' videos for the Intermezzo series, along with all of our sponsors, and the team members who curated, edited, and published these videos.

Please make a gift to Pittsburgh Opera to help us through these uncertain times. Our company has overcome World War II, the Cold War, recessions, 9/11, and other national periods of crisis. With your help we will overcome this one too, and emerge ready to welcome you back in person for our exciting 2020-21 season. Please give now. Thank you for your support, from the bottom of our hearts.
