South to Southwest - Phoenix
A man who wears many hats, Arizona Opera’s General Director Ryan Taylor has dusted off his former role as a successful baritone to perform for one night only in Phoenix and Tucson.
Prior to his arrival in the Southwest, Ryan’s career as an acclaimed baritone led him on a wacky, zig-zagging trip around the globe; from his early days of showing off his vocal chops at BBQ’s in his hometown in Atlanta to a bustling career which took him from New York City to Munich to Seattle to Shanghai…even to Bar Harbor, Maine.
Featuring pianist Joseph Li, South to Southwest: A Musical Travelography is the one and (he promises) only chance to hear Ryan perform songs and arias he collected during this chapter in his operatic life. Tickets are $200 and entirely tax deductible with all proceeds benefiting Arizona Opera.
