Pittsburgh Opera’s 38th annual fundraising gala, Maecenas XXXVIII, returns on April 15, 2023 with Enchantment in the Garden hosted by event chairs Mr. Sri Palanisamy & Dr. Laxmi Modali.

Pittsburgh Opera's signature fundraiser gala Maecenas is the social event not to be missed. It is hailed by SEEN as “one of the best black-tie galas in town” and by the Tribune Review as one of Pittsburgh’s top parties of the year. Named for Gaius Maecenas, the wealthy Roman statesman and cultural patron, the Maecenas gala has developed a reputation for a spectacular environment and great entertainment.
