About the company
Pittsburgh Opera, Incorporated, doing business as Pittsburgh Opera Center, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that receives federal grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) as a prime grant recipient to support operatic and musical theater productions. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not as a prime or subcontractor on federal service or supply contracts — and has received all twenty of its tracked federal awards from a single grantor agency, the NEA, over a span dating back to 2007.
Pittsburgh Opera's federal footprint is entirely concentrated in project grants supporting world premiere operatic productions and related performances. Recent awards include a January 2026 NEA project grant supporting the world premiere production of "Time to Act" (completion June 30, 2026); a January 2024 grant for performances of "The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson," composed by Carlos Simon with text by Sandra Seaton (completion June 30, 2024); a January 2023 grant for "We Shall Not Be Moved" and related activities (completion June 30, 2023); and a January 2022 grant for the world premiere of "In a Grove," composed by Christopher Cerrone with libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann (completion April 30, 2022). Combined obligated dollars across all twenty awards total $11.2 million. Activity has remained flat at roughly one award per year, with the most recent award issued in January 2026. Pittsburgh Opera does not sub-award to other organizations and carries no presence on federal IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or contract vehicles — the organization's federal role is limited to grant administration and production delivery under NEA funding.
