Meet Our Artists
At the heart of Passion Project: Opera! is a growing community of artists
drawn together by curiosity, trust, and a shared belief
in the power of intimate storytelling through music.
Our singers, musicians, directors, designers, and collaborators bring not only technical excellence to their work, but a deep commitment to emotional truth, generosity of spirit, and meaningful connection—with one another and with our audiences.
Each production becomes a meeting place: of voices, disciplines, perspectives, and lived experience. Some of our artists are longtime collaborators; others are new to the Passion Project circle, joining us for a single production or returning again and again as part of our extended artistic family. What unites them is a willingness to engage deeply—with the music, with the story, and with the people beside them in the room.

Luisa Miller
Presented in an intimate concert setting, Giuseppe Verdi's Luisa Miller is a powerful drama of love, loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice. Set against the tensions of class and family obligation, the opera follows two young lovers whose devotion is tested by deception, political ambition, and impossible choices, culminating in one of Verdi's most emotionally compelling finales.
Performed in two distinctive Tucson venues, this production offers audiences the rare opportunity to experience Verdi's soaring score in unique settings that bring performers and listeners into close connection.

Suor Angelica & L’enfant Prodigue
This paired production, presented in collaboration with the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra (SASO), brings together two emotionally rich works that explore grief, longing, and the possibility of redemption through music. Suor Angelica offers a powerful portrait of loss and compassion, while L’Enfant Prodigue reflects on separation, forgiveness, and the complex bonds that call us home.
Performed across multiple venues in the Tucson community, these works invite audiences into a moving and deeply human musical experience that resonates well beyond the final note.
