Roméo & Juliette

Phoenix Convention Center

 The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall

Love, mistaken identity, and humor are woven throughout The Barber of Seville, Rossini’s comic opera masterpiece. The Barber of Seville is considered one of the greatest opera buffa of all time, maintaining its popularity for over two hundred years.

Count Almaviva falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful Rosina, the young ward of a grumpy and elderly Bartolo who intends to marry her and claim her dowry. Dressed in disguise, Almaviva tries to earn Rosina’s affection for who he really is, rather than for his money and status. Almaviva assumes multiple identities including a poor student, a drunken soldier, and a singing tutor and priest. With the help of his companion Figaro, Almaviva stops at nothing as he pursues Rosina through a series of comical hijinks and bait-and-switch facades. Eventually revealing his true identity, he manages to win Rosina’s heart and the pair evade the disgruntled Bartolo, with love and laughter triumphing in the end.

The time: 2011. The place: Brooklyn, New York. This is the setting for this unique vision of Puccini’s most famous opera. A time of restless energy, and a spirit of protest that led to Occupy Wall St. It’s a La bohème unlike any you’ve ever seen.

Puccini's La bohème

Granada Theatre

Long ago, small groups of classical musicians entertained nobility in the elegant salons where they held court. The music was designed for the space – intimate, inviting, elegant in every detail.

Today, modern audiences can partake in this experience in a less formal setting, with a series of exquisite chamber concerts, each preceded by a wine reception.

Chamber Night #1: Mozart, Brahms & MTT

Music Academy of the West

Multi-grammy winning opera star Ana Maria Martinez and renowned pianist César Cañón present an immersion into Spanish song, culture, and dance performed by the brilliant vocal fellows. The flamenco performance of Manuel Gutierrez, who Figaro called “incredibly explosive” is not to be missed.
