AZOOMA - the Arizona Opera Orchestra Musicians Association - is an organization of highly trained professionals with the Arizona Opera.
AZOOMA is working hard with Opera management to gain long-term commitments and satisfactory employment terms. We are also exploring creative ways to support the Opera.
Our previous contract expired in June 2007. Our Negotiating Committee has been active -- since March 2007 -- attempting to reach an new agreement with Arizona Opera management.
This is our 5th video is a series and it gets closer to the heart of our negotiation issues.

Musicians are not mere laborers. The management of AZ Opera (and the Tucson Symphony for that matter) think that musicians are a liability to their corporate structure. Stick it to them, AZOOMA.
