Pittsburgh Opera has announced a partnership with Locks of Love. Pittsburgh Opera wigmaster James Geier will snip the locks of five people who wish to donate their hair to help children suffering from hair loss at Pittsburgh Opera’s new headquarters in the Strip at 2425 Liberty Avenue on Wednesday, October 8. It's also a great chance to check out their refurbished building – George Westinghouse’s original air brake factory – which now includes creative space for costumers, wigmakers, makeup artists, and other theater crafts. And, of course, steal their ideas for our region.
Those wishing to participate should send their name, a photo, and contact information to Allison Ruppert. Please type “Locks of Love” in the subject line.
Pittsburgh Opera is also inviting salons to register for this drive by downloading an application form at www.pittsburghopera.org. Participating salons that have submitted 5 ponytails or more to Locks of Love between August 1 and October 1 will receive four tickets to a performance of Samson & Dalila. They also will be given four free passes to OperaBLAST!, a late-night party celebrating the opening of the Pittsburgh Opera’s 70th season on October 18.
