Arizona Opera is unveiling its 2025-26 main stage season, in addition to the presentation of internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton in recital in 2026.
Arizona Opera’s Main Stage Season and Barton’s recital will be performed in both Phoenix and Tucson, continuing with the company’s tradition of performing in both cities.
The 2025-26 season will mark Arizona Opera’s return to a traditional “fall-to-spring” programming schedule and will open with the company premiere of Héctor Armienta’s “Zorro,” inspired by the legendary masked vigilante who ignites a revolution and becomes a hero of the people.

Arizona Opera is unveiling its 2025-26 main stage season, in addition to the presentation of internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton in recital in 2026.
Arizona Opera’s Main Stage Season and Barton’s recital will be performed in both Phoenix and Tucson, continuing with the company’s tradition of performing in both cities.
The 2025-26 season will mark Arizona Opera’s return to a traditional “fall-to-spring” programming schedule and will open with the company premiere of Héctor Armienta’s “Zorro,” inspired by the legendary masked vigilante who ignites a revolution and becomes a hero of the people.
Next will be the anticipated return of “Madama Butterfly,” Giacomo Puccini’s timeless masterpiece of love, longing and loss. The final production in Arizona Opera’s 2025/26 main stage season will be Rossini’s opera “Cinderella (La Cenerentola),” part of the Marlu Allan and Scott Stallard Family Series.
"Arizona Opera is once again thrilled to present a season that warmly welcomes both newcomers and longtime opera lovers with iconic stories and extraordinary artistry," Joseph Specter, president and general director, shared in a press release. "From the adventure of ‘Zorro’ to the timeless romance of ‘Madama Butterfly,’ the charm of ‘Cinderella,’ and the brilliance of Jamie Barton in recital, this season offers something unforgettable for everyone."
Season tickets for the 2025-26 season in-theatre productions are now available for renewal for current subscribers, with sales opening for new subscribers on April 12.
Single tickets, including those for Jamie Barton in Recital, are scheduled to go on sale Aug. 1.
