We are thrilled to present celebrated tenor Stephen Costello in recitals to be performed in both Tempe and Tucson, at Arizona State University and The University of Arizona. Costello, who led the cast of The Metropolitan Opera’s production of La Bohème this season and who returns to The Met next year in the company’s premiere of Moby Dick, will be accompanied by pianist Anthony Manoli in a program that will include an enthralling mix of both songs and arias. These recitals are an exciting expansion of the company’s long-standing partnership with the Tucson Desert Song Festival (TDSF), which has made it possible to bring some of today’s most sought-after artists to perform in Arizona Opera’s birth city. New this year, Arizona Opera brings this series to Arizona State University (ASU) in collaboration with ASU’s School of Music, Dance and Theatre. Part of the Tucson Desert Song Festival.
