The festival had a chance to snag Angel Blue, one of the country's top rising sopranos, but she was booked until next spring, so organizers created a second run.
Cathalena E. Burch In the world of vocal music, Angel Blue tops many presenters’ wish lists including the Tucson Desert Song Festival.
So this year, the festival added a second three-week run, from March 24-April 6. The Grammy-winning Blue, who is heading to the Met in March to sing the role of Violetta in “La Traviata” followed by a weekend of dates with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, is performing a recital with Song Festival partner Arizona Opera on April 1.
It’s the second time since the festival launched as a 10-day run of concerts in 2013 that it has extended beyond February. The 2022 festival stretched into mid-March to accommodate festival partner Arizona Theater Company‘s production of “Nina Simone: Four Women.” Two events by the Tucson Guitar Society, which has been part of the festival for several years, close out the spring leg. The society is pairing its guitar orchestra with mezzo Mack Wolz, a former member of the Arizona Opera’s Marion Roose Pullin Opera Studio, to perform the world premiere of “Pulling Down the Clouds” on April 2. On April 6, the Guitar Society is hosting a recital with guitarist Rafael Aguirre and soprano Fatma Said.
