Go behind the scenes at the Arizona Opera

More from this show

We will go behind the scenes as the Arizona Opera prepares for an upcoming opera called ‘Fellow Travelers’. They were thrown a curve ball when they found out the company they are “renting” the opera from didn’t have costumes so they are now under the wire to make all of the costumes in a very short time frame. The opera is set in the 1950s so every piece of clothing is custom-made. We will go behind the curtain to see how costumers are preparing for the upcoming performances. We will also learn the challenges costumers face in creating the visual look from scratch. Learn more about Arizona Opera at https://www.azopera.org/
