Originally slated to be a stage production, and delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Copper Queen, with music by Clint Borzoni and libretto and original screenplay by John de los Santos, was reimagined as Arizona Opera’s first film project, directed by Crystal Manich. Still healing from her grandmother’s death, Addison Moore (mezzo-soprano Sarah Coit) finds herself checking into The Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona. Aware of the ghost stories and hauntings, Addison fearlessly elects to stay in Room 315, the location of the death of heartbroken Julia Lowell (soprano Vanessa Becerra) a century ago. But what draws Addison to Room 315? And why does she want to face Julia’s ghost?
