Byham Theater, Pittsburgh

The city's Cultural Trust has given a new lease of life to this once run-down venue, transforming it into a premier location. Its specially-designed orchestral stage, vantage seating arrangements and clear, yet not harsh, sound system makes it particularly well-suited for musical events. The theater's old-time interiors, with copper cherubs, mosaic floors, stained-glass windows and gold-leaf frescos are still preserved from their glory days in the early 1900s. Big international names like Anoushka Shankar mesmerize audiences, alongside Broadway and comedy shows. Browse the website for event schedules and enjoy some beautiful music in surreal surroundings.
