TINA: The Tina Turner Musical- Pittsburgh Cultural Trust 1. Godspell Carnegie Mellon School of Drama Saturday, March 25 Start Time: 7:20 p.m. Estimated End Time: 10:30 p.m. Originally conceived at Carnegie Mellon University by then-student John-Michael Tebelak, and later completed with music by CMU graduate Stephen Schwartz, Godspell has since become a cultural phenomenon. The show is structured as a series of parables, primarily based on the Gospel of Matthew, interspersed with music, including the huge hit, Day by Day. With its message of community and its joyful musical score, Godspell has been performed all over the world. 2. Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi Pittsburgh Opera Friday, March 31 Start Time: 6:30 p.m. Estimated End Time: 10:10 p.m. Jealousy. Sorcery. Vengeance. Forbidden love. Verdi’s powerful drama set in 16th century Spain has it all for a sensational night out, with one rousing aria and chorus after another. The story follows Count di Luna, who is obsessed with the young noblewoman, Leonora. She instead is in love with a mysterious stranger who serenades her every night. Famous for its thunderous "Anvil Chorus," experience opera at its most operatic in this hot-blooded, high-stakes performance. 3.Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Sunday, April 2 Start Time: 1:40 p.m. Estimated End Time: 4:30 p.m. In Rachmaninoff’s final composition, we hear a culmination of his multifaceted career in the thoughtful, sometimes mournful, Symphonic Dances. Also on this program, hear Francesco Piemontesi perform Brahms’ First Piano Concerto, alongside Unsuk Chin’s forcefully brilliant work, subito con forza. This is the very last Spring Free Arts Encounter at the Symphony! 4.TINA: The Tina Turner Musical Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Friday, April 7 Start Time: 7:00 p.m. Estimated End Time: 10:45 p.m. TINA – The Tina Turner Musical is an uplifting comeback story like no other, featuring the much-loved songs of rock icon Tina Turner.
