We love when people acknowledge our age!

Pittsburgh Opera gets all the glory 🎭 It was founded in 1939 and crowned as the city's grand stage. But one year earlier, in 1938, a Shadyside church choir director named Harold Gaul started something older, as a fundraiser for a youth summer camp.

The Pittsburgh Savoyards gave their first show, The Pirates of Penzance, on May 9, 1939, at the Twentieth Century Club in Oakland. They became the fourth oldest Gilbert and Sullivan company in America and have staged 13 of the duo's 14 works, now based just up the river in Bellevue. 🎶

Here is the payoff: they are the oldest theatre company in the Pittsburgh area, still singing nearly nine decades later. Follow Pittsburgh Did What? for a Pittsburgh story like this every day
