Congregation in Market Square
Congregation Comes to a Close
Sunday, March 16 was the last night of the beautiful, interactive art installation Congregation in Market Square. For more than three weeks, Congregation turned Market Square into a wonderful playground as people of all ages, shapes, and sizes interacted with the lights, the music and each other.
This installation was truly a social event got into the act as players waiting to be hi-lighted by a spotlight that sensed where the people were and sensed movement. It was interesting to watch as participants watched both the screen and the outlines in the center of the square to see where their movement would be picked up. Josh Kurnot, WVU commented that this was a "live social media event' as he watched people taking pictures and videos. this was truly an innovative art installation that was enjoyable to five years old or 85 years old and the great part about is it was free, another Pittsburgh first.

Pittsburgh Opera Presents One of the World’s Most Beloved Operas, La Boheme by Puccini at the Benedum Center
Tues., April 1 2014 | 7 PM
Fri., April 4 2014 | 8 PM
Sun., April 6 2014 | 2 PM
Pittsburgh Opera continues its 75th anniversary season with one of the world’s most beloved operas, Puccini’s La Boheme. On stage at the Benedum Center March 29 – April 6, this story of Bohemian friends struggling through poverty and illness in 1830s Paris is cherished for its romantic, yet tragic story, and soaring music that includes many familiar melodies. A roster of outstanding singers leads the production, anchored by a marvelous set designed by Tony Award-winner Michael Yeargan (for Light in the Piazza, 2005).
La Boheme brings the role and company debut of Leah Crocetto as Mimí; the 2010 Metropolitan National Council Auditions Grand Finals winner, she has been effusively praised for her “voice of size, beauty, and agility” (Chicago Tribune) and “gorgeous, well-supported sound” (San Francisco Chronicle). Due to scheduling issues, the role of Rodolfo will be shared by David Lomeli (Lucia di Lammermoor, 2011) and Eric Barry, in a company debut. (Mr. Lomelí appears March 29, April 1 and 4; Mr. Barry appears in the April 3 Student Matinee and April 6.) Pittsburgh Opera also welcomes Troy Cook, in his company debut as Marcello; Pittsburgher Sari Gruber (Don Giovanni, 2012) returns as Musetta, bringing “comedic grace and vulnerability to the role, as well as glorious vocal talent” (Austin Chronicle). Pittsburghers in the cast also include Kevin Glavin (The Barber of Seville, 2010) in a reprise of his hilarious dual role of Benoit/Alcindoro, and Dimitrie Lazich, who debuts as Schaunard. Resident Artist Phillip Gay appears as Colline.
Pittsburgh Opera’s La Boheme also brings the annual Student Matinee on Thursday, April 3 at the Benedum Center. In this performance, Resident Artists take lead roles and perform with Maestro Walker and the orchestra for about 2800 school children from around the region. Jasmine Muhammad appears as Mimí and Meredith Lustig appears as Musetta, alongside Eric Barry (Rodolfo), Kevin Glavin (Benoit/Alcindoro), Phillip Gay (Colline) and Dimitrie Lazich (Schaunard) from the mainstage cast. Resident Artist George Cederquist is stage director for the Student Matinee.
