Vision

To make opera sing for generations!

Mission

To nurture, promote and produce the finest traditional operatic performances and present the most beautiful voices, exquisite costumes and sensational sets to the delight of audiences in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area and to sustain such performances in perpetuity through philanthropy, education, outreach and cultivation of new audiences.

Case for Support

The Phoenix Opera (PMO) has been established to perpetuate the performance of professional opera in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Founded by John Massaro and Gail Dubinbaum, the success of PMO will stem from presenting a consistent artistic vision: the promotion and performance of traditional operatic productions, drawn from a repertoire of popular works from the late 18th through early 20th centuries that continue to delight audiences throughout the world. PMO's success will also stem from a strong business model with an absolute commitment to fiscal responsibility, exceptional marketing, effective fundraising, innovative educational outreach activities and the cultivation of new audiences throughout the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area.
