Love Potion Number 9
Over at the George R. White Studio of the Pittsburgh Opera, you can see Gaetano Donizetti’s “The Elixir of Love.” Opening night, September 19, you can even hit up a happy hour at Wigle Whiskey at their Smallman Street distillery. Besides, everyone knows that alcohol is the true elixir of love. After happy hour ends, stagger on down to the George R. White Studio, 2425 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA to see the show.
