Summer fest set at Opera Theater of Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: For nearly a decade, the Opera Theater of Pittsburgh has been a roving band, a troupe seeking a different venue for every production. General director Jonathan Eaton, now in his 13th season leading the company that Mildred Miller Posvar founded in 1978, prefers it this way. He likes to pick a location that connects with the opera he is producing. The setting becomes the set. He moves fluently from well-known venues, such as the Byham Theater, the Charity Randall Theater and CAPA, to offbeat places, such as Allegheny Cemetery, The Andy Warhol Museum and Artifacts, a furniture and rug gallery in the West End.
