Arizona Opera League of Tucson

Who We Are

For over 50 years, the Arizona Opera League of Tucson has been a source of significant support for Arizona Opera and for the cultural and educational enrichment of the Southern Arizona community. In 1973, six Tucson businesswomen known as the “Opera Dames” launched Arizona Opera’s original volunteer and support organization. Brought together by their love of opera, the “Opera Dames” set out to share and encourage others to experience this exquisite art form. Today, the Arizona Opera League of Tucson has evolved into an organization of members who share a love of opera and who work tirelessly to support our renowned Arizona Opera. Through its exciting programs and fundraising efforts, the League contributes greatly to the success and vitality of Arizona Opera.
