Join us on Saturday, October 26th at 6 pm for the second performance of "Pearls of Opera". Following the success of our March 2024 concert, this special evening will again be held at Christ Church of the Ascension, 4015 E Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley.
Opera has enchanted audiences for centuries and remains as celebrated as ever. The "Pearls of Opera" concert goes beyond performing beautiful music and explores the composers and characters that define the genre. Discover the behind-the-curtain stories of iconic titles such as Rossini’s "The Barber of Seville," Mozart’s "The Marriage of Figaro," Puccini’s "Gianni Schicchi," Bizet’s "Carmen," Strauss’s "Die Fledermaus,” and more!
For the Pearls of Opera ensemble, a local group of passionate Arizona singers, opera is more than a performance—it’s our life. Using music, we step onto the stage to share timeless stories and connect deeply with our audience.
Curious how someone can fill an entire hall without a microphone? Or why it’s not over until the fat lady sings? Don’t speak Italian? No worries—we’ve got you covered! At “Pearls of Opera” we’ll unravel the drama and deliver an evening packed with laughter, surprises, and heartfelt moments.
