Phoenix Convention Center & Venues

The Arizona Opera was founded in 1971 by a small group of opera enthusiasts. The first season began with only two performances. Over the years it expanded greatly and today the Arizona Opera presents five productions annually at Symphony Hall in the Phoenix Civic Plaza Convention Center. The performers and contributors are a mix of emerging talent and internationally known figures.

The season runs from October through to March.

The Phoenix Symphony performs classical, pops, chamber and family programs from September to May at Symphony Hall in the Phoenix Civic Plaza Convention Center. The Phoenix Symphony is Arizona's only full-time, professional orchestra.
