Since 1957, opera lovers have been captivated by productions painted in front of northern New Mexico mountains. The Santa Fe Opera is one of the world’s most spectacular summer opera festivals. It is here that the adobe theater showcases performances that compliment the desert landscape. With more than half of those in attendance visiting from out of state, and audiences reaching numbers of up to 85,000, it is easy to say that New Mexico is every bit as enchanting as its name suggests.
There have been more than 2,000 performances of almost 164 operas at the Santa Fe Opera. This includes 15 world premieres and around 45 American premieres. This year, the calendar lists five operas, which are scheduled to begin as early as Friday, June 28th, with the showing of La Bohème. Until then, the Santa Fe Opera’s calendar lists “Backstage” as well as “Opera Insiders” tours to tide over all of those interested.
The Santa Fe Opera has been a source of inspiration for years, which has resulted in multiple Opera Lookbooks. The Santa Fe Opera 2018 Season inspired creative shoots for Ariadne Auf Naxos, Candide, Madame Butterfly, Dr. Atomic, and The Italian Girl in Algiers. This year, the Santa Fe Opera boasts performances of La Bohème, The Peral Fishers, Così Fan Tutte, Jenufa, and The Thirteenth Child. Our mission: create a new lookbook for the Santa Fe Opera 2019 Season. We will release the lookbook in the weeks leading up to the premiere, so stay tuned!
