The Herberger Theater Center is proud to be home to two resident companies.
Arizona Opera
Arizona Opera elevates 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. The McDougall Arizona Opera RED Series – symbolizing the passion and heart of opera – is presented in more intimate venues: the Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix and The Temple of Music and Art in Tucson. These venues provide audiences with an opportunity to experience the art form in an incredibly visceral way, with storytelling that resonates with the vibrancy of the year-round community that Arizona Opera serves.
Childsplay
