Studio Scenes in the Wittcoff

Arizona Opera’s Studio Spotlight Series is available on Arizona Opera OnDemand (ondemand.azopera.org) at no cost and with no advance reservations.

The first two performances feature performances by 2020/21 Marion Roose Pullin Opera Studio Artists Caitlin Gotimer (soprano), Mack Wolz (mezzo- soprano), Rob McGinness (baritone), Cheyanne Coss (soprano), Terrence Chin-Loy (tenor), and Robert Bosworth (pianist). This year’s Studio also includes Haley Stamats, the program’s first assistant stage director, whose work will be featured in various programs over the course of the season.

Each of these artists went through a rigorous process to be accepted into the prestigious program, which provides well-rounded, personalized instruction in order to propel each artist to the next level of their performance career. The Pullin Studio helps to bridge the gap between academic studies and a professional career in the operatic field.

Included in the third program are performances by tenor Bille Bruley, soprano Kaitlyn Johnson, and bass-baritone Brandon Morales. Also featured is Arizona Opera’s new Concert Master of the Arizona Opera Orchestra and violinist, Ikuko Kanda, and pianist and Arizona Opera’s Head of Music and Director of the Marion Roose Pullin Opera Studio, Christopher Cano.
