TribLIVE: Pittsburgh Opera unfurled a winning new production of Ricky Ian Gordon's opera “27” on Feb. 20 at its headquarters in the upper Strip District.
The title refers to the street address, 27 rue de Fleurus in Paris, where American writer Gertrude Stein lived most of her life and held famous weekly salons that attracted many of the most famous artists of her time. Although some of those artists appear in the opera, which takes place entirely in her salon, “27” is firmly focused on Stein as seen through the eyes of her wife, Alice B. Toklas.
