[Highland Park] Pittsburgh Opera tickets for sale
by Amy Landis 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Would you like to go to the Pittsburgh Opera? I bought four ticket vouchers that are flexible for which performances I attend. Since my wife is unable to attend because our 5 week old needs to eat too often to leave him at home and the Pittsburgh Opera does not permit entry to children less than 6 years of age, I am looking to sell the tickets from these vouchers to anyone interested. There are two operas remaining this season. Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini Saturday, March 16, 2013 - 8:00 PM Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - 7:00 PM Friday, March 22, 2013 - 8:00 PM Sunday, March 24, 2013 - 2:00 PM La Cenerentola (Cinderella) by Gioachino Rossini Saturday, April 27, 2013 - 8:00 PM Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - 7:00 PM Friday, May 3, 2013 - 8:00 PM Sunday, May 5, 2013 - 2:00 PM Please let me know if you would like to go and to which performance. I paid $50/ticket voucher for "best available" seating when I call to redeem them for real tickets. I am asking the same or best offer. Here are the prices if you buy your tickets from the opera, by seating area: Balcony $195.75 $118.00 $ 79.75 $ 42.75 $ 26.25 Main Floor $179.00 $118.00 $ 91.50 $ 49.00 $ 10.75 http://www.pittsburghopera.org/ If you have any further questions, feel free to email or call me at 585-590-0527 Thank you, Chris

by Leah Thill 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Last fall PULSE (Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience) adopted a section of Negley Ave through the Mayor's Redd Up Zone Program and committed to holding litter cleanups in the area. The Spring litter cleanup will be on Saturday March 16th, from 9:30 am - 1pm. In order to make this event more convenient for local volunteers and cover a larger area, we will have multiple meeting places. Meeting locations: 5615 Stanton Ave (Highland Park/East Liberty border) 423 N St Clair St (East Liberty) 221 N Graham St (Garfield) We will provide: gloves, trash bags, trash grabbers, first aid kit, and pizza at the end of the event at the Stanton Ave PULSE house! Water will be provided at the PULSE houses (221 N Graham St and 5615 Stanton Ave). Bring your own reusable water bottle if possible. Dress in layers for brisk spring weather and wear long pants and sturdy shoes. Benefits of volunteering include: getting a good workout, enjoying the beautiful spring weather, getting to know current PULSErs and local residents better, eating free pizza, the satisfaction of making a difference, and having fun! I hope you will join us! Leah Thill Current PULSEr serving with Allegheny CleanWays
