Spanish Music-Up Close

Arizona Opera presents a master class with Arizona Opera’s Marion Roose Pullin Studio Artists as a special addition to our Tucson Hispanic Heritage Festival. The Studio Artists will perform Hispanic songs and Spanish arias with feedback given by Greta Skelly, an expert on this repertoire.

Arizona Opera will open its 2014-2015 season by presenting the world’s first mariachi opera, Cruzar la Cara de la Luna. This emotional work revolves around a modern immigrant family struggling with issues of home, family and identity. This opera is sung in both English and Spanish, and audiences will be enthralled as the passionate worlds of mariachi and opera join together to become one electric, theatrical experience.

In conjunction with this groundbreaking work, Arizona Opera will be presenting a Hispanic Heritage Festival in both Phoenix and Tucson leading up to the performances. During these events, Arizona Opera will be facilitating conversations, providing demonstrations, and hosting celebrations of Hispanic culture. Members of our community will be brought together to celebrate our cultural differences in order to find the common ground that unites us all.
