by Steve Callahan
- Jun 23, 2022
What did our critic think? Center Stage is a great smörgåsbord of opera- No, no, that's far too Swedish and Lutheran and heavy. If the whole OTSL festival is a great feast, then Center Stage is the delicious icing on the top of that final cake. It's all dessert and no vegetables.

- Mar 10, 2022
Last fall, when local companies were announcing their various seasons, one particular show made my eyes widen as I thought, 'WHO'S doing WHAT?'

Arizona Opera makes the most of the moment with an enchanting, delightful treat of a show.
