Squonk Opera and the Lively Arts College of Fine Arts Performance Plus present
Indiana County: The Opera.

Come celebrate Indiana County with a new installment in our ‘Hometown Series’,
a show that has been called “noisy, colorful, funny, outrageous” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and
“a quirky, playful, music- and image-driven piece of performance art “ by the Tribune Review.

Our show is not exactly ‘opera’, but a multi-media live concert that weaves music
with video projections, props and puppets.
To see more of what we do, check out our website at http://www. squonkopera. org.

Indiana County: The Opera includes amazing Indiana based dance and choral groups,
and lots of video interviews with Indiana County residents.

Astro-rama was filmed over 2 chilly nights in October 2008 at Pittsburgh's Schenley Plaza.

“The brainy, bold music-and-performance ensemble is once again daring to go where no performance art has gone before”
- Washington Post

“a roman candle, one that happens to come with a rhythm section.”
- City Paper

“The Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Squonk Opera Yet”
- Pop City

“an American, terrestrial and perhaps galaxy original...a unique mix of geek and polish, eccentric design and mocking wit”
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“hybridizer of art rock and performance, and expert at blending surrealism, high camp and careful craft for the masses”
- City Paper

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Astro-rama has just been chosen as one of three finalists for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council's Work of Art Awards

What do you give a city that has everything? Why not its own opera!
Help kick off the 250th birthday year of the 'burgh with the return of
Squonk Opera's roast/toast of the formerly smoky city in a little show we call
Pittsburgh: The Opera!
We debuted this show in June of 2006 and sold out the run, so we're bringing it back for 4 shows only, January 17-20 at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty (or Eastside as some people like to call it).
Since the last run of Pittsburgh: The Opera, we’ve done operas for Baltimore,
St Louis, Albany, College Park, Columbia, Chester County and South Orange as part of our touring series (put your hometown's name here): The Opera.
But none of them compare to Pittsburgh.
So redd up your room, grab your terrible towel and tap your inner yinzer for a rollicking good time with all of the other jagoffs.
Yinz better be there!

"In order to be really hip, you can’t have any notion of being hip. And that’s what Pittsburgh is. No one thinks this place is hip. So, it is the hippest place on earth!” -Rick Sebak from Pittsburgh: The Opera
