A Journey to Japan

Phoenix Opera

Roger Dunn hosted A Journey to Japan, an intimate gathering at his Scottsdale home to benefit Phoenix Opera.  Guests and members of Friends of Phoenix Opera enjoyed a special viewing of his private collection of rare and historic Japanese artwork.  The exotic paintings, screens, armor, prints and masks provided an elegant setting for soprano Jennifer Nagy as she performed Un bel di from Madama Butterfly. Phoenix Opera will hold two performances of the opera by Giacomo Puccini in February.  Founders John Massaro and Gail Dubinbaum were on hand to welcome opera enthusiasts for this delightful party.

Save the Date: Madama Butterfly – February 12 & 14

Box office 602 262-7272
