See first look photos of Pittsburgh Opera's production of ‘The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson’.

In 1943, the National Negro Opera Company is set to perform on a floating barge to evade racially-segregated venues. But when bad weather threatens—pushing the performance to a segregated performance hall—visionary impressaria Mary Cardwell Dawson must find a way forward.

The final performances of The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson’ at the Byham Theater in downtown Pittsburgh are May 3rd and 5th. 

Tickets start at just $15. Learn more at pittsburghopera.org/mary
