Join us for a special GREAT COMET COCKTAIL PARTY inspired by and featuring the music of NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812.

Performance by Pittsburgh's own Radiant Strings and presented in partnership with Pittsburgh CLO.

Radiant Strings is a Pittsburgh-based string ensemble comprised of classically trained musicians and is the ideal blend of classical refinement, modern edge, and infectious energy.

Immerse yourself in 1800’s Russia with a trip to the Lounge at the Greer Cabaret Theater before or after you see Pittsburgh CLO’s production of NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 at the Benedum Center on Saturday, August 26, 2023. The electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, was created by the award-winning composter Dave Malloy, and has a ground breaking score that mixes rock, pop, soul and folk, and is unlike anything you've seen before.

With a rousing musical at the Benedum Center, the musical talents of Radiant Strings at the Lounge at the Greer Cabaret Theater, special cocktails and delicious snacks, and an elegant atmosphere like no other, Andrey may not be here, but you will surely want to be!
