There is no place in New Mexico like the Opera. Beautiful setting and wonderful opera and music. Always a great night.
Went to the opera 6 times, don't miss the apprentice show case on the last two Sundays of the season. It is also interesting to go for one of the buffet dinners and hear the speaker before the opera.
This is a place worth visiting, if you're from out of town, regardless of whether you're a super fan of whatever music is being performed. The combination of listening to high quality opera while watching the sun set is unbeatable. And there are great little translation boxes on the back of the seat in front of you, making opera easier to engage with no matter your background, age, experience.
This opera house is so unique, set in the hills outside Santa Fe. One opera we attended was backlit by distant lightening (nothing dangerous here though!) The operas are always of the highest quality and the prices are reasonable.
Living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, it's magic to be able to enjoy the Santa Fe Summer Opera from end of June to third week in August where you will enjoy world famous Operas being performed as well as enjoy world class Opera Singers.
One of the great opera houses in the world, a must see when in Santa Fe. Make sure you bring a jacket, nights get really chilly in the desert.
I have visited this venue several times and am always impressed. It is a beautiful indoor/outdoor venue with professional opera. The facility is well kept, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It is a place you can visit in jeans or a tux. Great acoustics, not a bad seat in the house. Attend a lecture prior to the opera. Some are free! You can also tailgate before the opera in the parking lot. Bring your own good, or order a box lunch/dinner and pick it up there.
I love that the SF Opera not only attracts A-list opera talent, but also that it is presented in the open air in the last summer evenings. I have attended one or two operas every season for the last 20 years.
If you enjoy the opera ths the place to spend a splendid summer evening. Start time is determined by sunset so plan on a late evening. Open air but protected from rain, the sound quality is wonderful. For anyone wishing a special evening this the place for family and friends
Lovely setting which becomes part of the production Get there early for dinner with director and learn about the opera you will see.
