Falstaff
2026-04-28 - 2026-05-03 | Benedum Center, 237 7th St, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222, United States
Falstaff
Presented by: Pittsburgh Opera
Dates: Tuesday, April 28 – Sunday, May 3, 2026
Location: Benedum Center, 7th Street and Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Run Time: Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes
Language: Sung in Italian with English supertitles
Tickets: Start at $10 (student tickets) | Box office: 412-456-6666
About the Opera:
Shakespeare’s lovable lush hatches a scheme, and hilarity ensues in this favorite by Verdi. Beloved buffoon Sir John Falstaff has fallen on hard times. Being a ladies’ man (or so he’d like to think), he drunkenly schemes to cash in on his wit and charm by wooing the wealthy wives of Windsor, Alice Ford and Meg Page. However, when these women discover he has sent them both identical love letters, they hatch a plan of their own to teach Falstaff a lesson he won’t soon forget .
The music matches the merriment and mischief of this madcap romp. See why Verdi’s buoyant comedy is considered one of the best comedic operas of all time .
This production marks the end of Pittsburgh Opera’s season and the retirement of General Director Christopher Hahn after 25 years. “Falstaff was in many ways the culmination of Verdi’s remarkable career,” says Hahn. “Everything he’d learned in his life went into its gorgeous music. Plus, Falstaff is a comedy, and I wanted to finish my career with a smile” .
Conductor: Antony Walker
Stage Director: Crystal Manich
Performance Schedule:

Tuesday, April 28 – 7:00 PM (audio commentary available for patrons with visual impairments)

Thursday, April 30 – 10:30 AM (Student Matinee for grades 3–12)

Lewis Hine Pictures America
2026-04-25 - 2026-05-23 | The Frick, 7227 Reynolds St., Pittsburgh, PA, 15208, United States
Lewis Hine Pictures America
The Frick Art Museum, Through May 17
Captured more than 100 years ago, these photographs by Lewis Hine depict the lives of immigrants and laborers — including Pittsburgh steelworkers. Wisconsin-born photographer Lewis Hine trained his lens on (often harsh) scenes of reality at the dawn of the 20th century: crowds of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, child laborers toiling under dangerous conditions, laborers sweating in punishing industrial environments. A touring exhibit of more than 70 rare photographs also includes some of Hine’s work in the Pittsburgh region, documenting the men behind Pittsburgh’s booming steel industry.
