MISSION STATEMENT
Thousand Bridges Opera is dedicated to the musical and cultural education of the greater Pittsburgh area through programming of accessible live entertainment and arts enrichment to a diverse community.
Thousand Bridges is committed to the inclusion, celebration and advancement of historically marginalized artists.
We’re building a “Thousand Bridges” into the greater Pittsburgh community with music.
Welcome to Thousand Bridges Opera, one of Pittsburgh’s newest performing arts organizations! We are a registered not-for-profit corporation in the state of Pennsylvania with pending approval to be a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Founded by two opera singers, TBO was created as a way to promote the advancement of local musicians in Pittsburgh through innovative performances, inclusive musical spaces, and community collaboration by partnering with a diverse array of other local organizations. We are proud to be a 100% woman and queer-owned company, and maintain a commitment to lift up marginalized voices in our society.
We are excited for our future endeavors, and are grateful for your support!
