Cruzar la Cara de la Luna
An electrifying season opens as Arizona Opera brings the world’s first mariachi opera to the stage. Cruzar la Cara de la Luna has become a smash sensation around the globe, blending the passion and artistry of mariachi with the emotionally touching story of a Mexican immigrant family. .
The Daughter of the Regiment
This bright, sparkling comedy follows Marie, a feisty young girl raised by a regiment of French soldiers high in the Alps. Peppered with exhilarating arias, astonishing high notes and outrageous fun, Marie rappels between her patriotic loyalty to her “dear brothers” and the expectations of “polite” society.
Eugene Onegin
From Pushkin’s classic poem comes Tchaikovsky’s theatrical magnum opus. Onegin is a man egotistical enough to turn his back on love and a gun on his best friend.
The Magic Flute
Full of charming, magical melodies and fantastic creatures, Mozart’s beloved tale follows Prince Tamino and bird-catcher Papageno on an adventure to rescue Princess Pamina.
Rigoletto
A court jester isn’t quite so funny when he has revenge on his mind. With unforgettable arias that are synonymous with Italian Opera and a dramatic, twisting plot Rigoletto features dark assassins, a philandering Duke and the self-sacrificing Gilda.
