Arizona Opera Company - Tucson Convention Center Music Hall
Started in Tucson in 1972 by a small but eagerly dedicated group of lovers of the opera, the Arizona Opera Company presented patrons with high quality grand opera. Internationally renowned singers and conductors come every year.
Initially they used the facilities at the Tucson Convention Center Music Hall. It wasn’t long before they began performing in Phoenix as well as in Tucson and shortly thereafter, they had fully staffed offices in both cities.
Educational outreach is one of the many goals they have met through going to schools and meetings to encourage an interest in the performing arts.
Arizona Opera currently produces a five opera season, with three performance dates in Tucson at the TCC Music Hall and four performances at Symphony Hall in Phoenix. To the dancers, they have added the Arizona Opera Orchestra and the Opera Chorus with talent coming from around the world.
Tucson's largest performance venue is the Tucson Convention Center Music Hall, the Arizona Opera Company home at 260 South Church Avenue. The season runs October through March with performances Friday through Sunday matinee performances.
