’27’
Pittsburgh Opera continues its 77th season with the Pittsburgh premiere of Ricky Ian Gordon’s “27.”
Spotlighting larger-than-life novelist, poet, playwright and Pittsburgh native Gertrude Stein and her partner, Alice B. Toklas, “27” delights with Ricky Ian Gordon’s “tuneful score” and Royce Vavrek’s “quick-witted libretto.”
“27” is a humorous and touching snapshot of the women’s shared lives at 27 Rue de Fleurus in Paris in the early 1900s, featuring their famous salon and its visitors, including Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and others.
On stage Feb. 20, 23, 26 and 28 at Pittsburgh Opera Headquarters in the Strip District, most tickets for “27” are $40.
