Babatunde Akinboboye brings his groundbreaking sound to City Winery Pittsburgh, redefining what opera can be for a modern audience. An internationally acclaimed baritone and the creator of Hip Hopera, Babatunde seamlessly fuses the power and precision of classical opera with the rhythm and energy of hip-hop, creating a bold, genre-blending performance unlike anything else on stage today.
After going viral with his innovative mashup of Rossini and Kendrick Lamar, earning millions of views and widespread media attention, Babatunde has continued to push artistic boundaries. A classically trained performer with credits including Los Angeles Opera and Detroit Opera, he pairs technical mastery with a fresh, contemporary voice that resonates across generations.
His live show is both electrifying and thought-provoking, blending centuries-old vocal tradition with modern beats, storytelling, and cultural commentary. With a rapidly growing global following, Babatunde is not just performing, he is shaping the future of music.
