Santa Fe Opera
Santa Fe Opera is an American opera company, located 7 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. After creating the Opera Association of New Mexico in 1956, its founding director, John Crosby, oversaw the building of the first opera house on a newly acquired former guest ranch of 199 acres. The company has presented operas each summer festival season since July 1957, and is internationally known for introducing new operas as well as for its productions of the standard operatic repertoire.
The festival runs annually from late June or the beginning of July to the third week of August, with five operas presented in rotating repertory. Enjoy stellar performances under a starry New Mexico sky with beautiful music, compelling drama and stunning sunsets. Your night at the Opera will be a memorable experience for newcomers as well as opera lovers.
