onStage Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh Opera will wrap its successful 2021-22 season with the first local performances of Blue, with music by Jeanine Tesori, and a libretto by Tazewell Thompson. The librettist will direct the five performances, beginning this Saturday evening, April 23, and Glenn Lewis will conduct. Blue “centers on the hopes and fears of a young Black couple as they raise their son,” and a number of singers who created the roles at its premiere in 2019 will reprise their roles for the Pittsburgh performances. Among them is Gordon Hawkins, the seasoned and versatile baritone.
