Pittsburgh Opera has added a fifth performance of its world premiere of Jennifer Higdon and Jerre Dye’s “Woman With Eyes Closed.”

The company announced that the fifth performance will be held on May 3, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

The newly added performance is due to high demand as the first performance on April 26, 2025, and the final performance on May 4, 2024, are sold out. There are also performances on April 29, and May 2, 2025.

“Woman With Eyes Closed” is inspired by the real-life theft of seven modernist paintings from Rotterdam’s Kunsthal in 2012, including Lucian Freud’s “Woman With Eyes Closed,” which the opera is named after. In the show, a woman discovers the paintings in her house and realizes her son is the thief. She must decide what to do and the opera has three different endings, each reflecting her making a different choice.

Ending one will be performed on April 26, 2025, while ending two will be performed on April 29, 2025. The third ending will be showcased on May 2, 2024.

The final two performances on May 3, 2025, and May 4, 2025, have not announced what endings will be used. All five performances will be at the Bitz Opera Factory, 2425 Liberty Ave., in Pittsburgh’s Strip District.
