Kiss Me, Kate

Pittsburgh in the Round: There was much that was “new” in the air last night, when Opera Theater of Pittsburgh’s “SummerFest” presented Cole Porter’s 1949 Broadway hit, Kiss Me, Kate – some new singers (one making his professional debut in a lead role), a new venue (the Falk Auditorium at Winchester Thurston in Shadyside), and what appeared to be a favorably increased audience appreciation of the work this festival has so successfully offered for this and the past four summers.
