Internationally known for introducing new operas as well as the standard operatic repertoire, the Santa Fe Opera has staged 43 American premieres and 15 world premieres. Since its inception, the opera’s goal has been to give American singers the opportunity to learn and perform new roles along with the time for rehearsal and preparation during the five-opera summer festival season.

Patrons of the opera usually arrive up to three hours before the performances dressed to the nines for the traditional gourmet tailgate picnics -- sipping champagne and nibbling on delectable foods while taking in the spectacular views with friends, family and fellow patrons.  A summer thunderstorm is always possible but only adds to the unique experience of this incredible venue and the mystery and magic of each performance.

Located above the quaint village of Tesuque about 8 miles north of downtown Santa Fe, performances run from July through August each summer and also offer an hour-long behind the scenes backstage tour from late May through August.

For information on this year’s performance schedule or to purchase tickets, please visit their website: www.santafeopera.org
