September's Top 10 classical music, dance and opera performances in Phoenix

The Arizona Republic highlights Arizona Opera's workshop performance of The Copper Queen. This opera-in-progress is about the ghost of a “lady of the evening” who haunts Room 315 of the historic Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee.

Written by composer Clint Borzoni and librettist John de los Santos, the opera was commissioned by Arizona Spark, a commissioning club founded by Arizona Opera patrons in 2014.
