About Us.

What is Chatham Concert Opera?
Chatham Concert Opera began as a Vocal Recital Series at Chatham University in 2009.  Since then we have produced over twenty concert programs, which have served and hopefully will continue to serve as a means for Chatham students and the Pittsburgh community to learn about opera and hear other vocal compositions rarely performed in our city.  Our concerts have always been free of charge.

Chatham Concert Opera currently provides an environment in which professional singers prepare new dramatic roles by learning them in their entirely, and perform them in a concert setting with their colleagues.  Operas that have been performed in this manner include – Carmen, Turandot, Il trovatore, The King’s Henchman, Otello, Aida, Don Carlo, La forza del destino, Un ballo in maschera, The Ring, Tristan and Isolde, and Elektra. Upcoming operas will include Simon Boccanegra, Salome, I vespri siciliani, Tannhauser and Wozzeck.
