Arizona Opera Chorus members of the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA)
are proud to present an evening of music by the Masters. In a gala evening
of opera's greatest moments, some of Arizona's finest musical talent will
present arias, duets and scenes from both opera and musical theatre.
Backstage at the Opera is a rare opportunity for the chorus members to step
out of the crowd and share their talents in the spotlight - alone or with
one or two colleagues. "It is a real labor of love," says John Cleveland,
President of AGMA-AZ. "Not only do we have the opportunity to do what we
love to do best, but we get to be an active part of raising money and
support for Arizona Opera." This is the third annual presentation of
Backstage at the Opera. "We are very excited to present this concert at the
Temple of Music and Art, a jewel of a theatre in downtown Tucson and an
elegant setting in which to share great music. In Phoenix, Backstage at the
Opera will be performed at the Phoenix Boy's Choir Facility in a wonderfully
intimate setting that really brings the music to life."
Backstage at the Opera will begin with a wine and hors d'oeuvre reception at
6:30 p.m., followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. and an intermission
buffet of desserts and coffee. All performers donate their time and talents
in support of their 'artistic home' and proceeds from the evening will be
donated to the general fund of Arizona Opera.
Tickets for Backstage at the Opera may be purchased by calling David Morden
in Tucson at (520) 245-2456, or Rachel Velarde in Phoenix at (480)
221-7390.
