Arizona Opera produces fully-staged operas, concerts, and collaborative programs throughout the state of Arizona each year, and is among only a handful of companies in the U.S. that regularly performs in more than one city. Having just celebrated its 50th Anniversary Season, Arizona Opera's mission is to elevate the transformative power of storytelling through music, cultivating community and strengthening a state and people as adventurous and diverse as the place they call home. Arizona Opera has since produced more than 200 operas and concerts since its founding as the Tucson Opera Company in 1971. The company's artistic history is rich with a blend of opera’s traditional repertoire featuring baroque, bel canto, and verismo works, turn-of-the-century masterpieces, operettas, and contemporary American operas.

FOUND:RE Contemporary

FOUND:RE Phoenix is a reinterpretation of the boutique art hotel concept. Instead of merely creating a museum or gallery-like environment by placing artwork throughout the hotel, the FOUND:RE expands upon this concept by extending the artistic vision into every area of human culture within a hospitality venue. Art, design, food, music, products, services, and social interaction are all included in this unique hotel experience. While art plays a major role in the FOUND:RE experience, it does so in a broader sense. Just as a sculptural foundry manufacturer's raw materials and forms mold from which sculptors produce works of art, FOUND:RE Phoenix creates new experiences for its guests.
