Arizona Outdoors & Social -Phoenix Scottsdale Tempe Chandler

An opera and a concert met in a fever dream and A Rock Opera was born. A Rock Opera is an immersive “coming-of-all-ages” theatrical concert experience blending iconic rock music, orchestra, visual arts, theatrical storytelling, and vaudeville-style fun into one visually striking, emotionally resonant night.

Featuring a cross-section of Arizona artists across genres and generations, A Rock Opera transforms heartbreak, chaos, joy, longing and growing older into a cinematic live experience unlike anything the Valley has seen before. All ages welcome.

Genres explored: classic rock, jazz, grunge, emo, pop, country, glam rock, hip hop, folk and more, with unexpected orchestral, ballroom, art and vaudeville integrations.

Proceeds benefitting Lost Our Home Pet Rescue.

Once you enter the gallery, meet at the Mercado to the right of the red carpet and shoot and repeat wall. Plan to arrive no later than 5:45 for the full experience.
