You’ll love some of the clever ways guests celebrate the evening’s opera-here is a group on opening night for Puccini’s La Fanciulla Del West whose setting is a California Gold Rush town. Bring along your own food or opt for delicious picnic suppers that can be pre-ordered and grabbed on arrival. No one can accuse the Santa Fe community of not having fun, and the traditional pre-opera tailgating party in the parking lot before the performance is a highlight. The 2016 season includes La Fanciulla del West, Don Giovanni, Roméo et Juliette, Capriccio, and Vanessa. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to see a world-class performance while the sun sets in full view! Each season five works are presented with a varied repertoire of new, rarely performed, and standard works, even world premieres.
Set in a fascinating and contemporary, open-air amphitheater nestled in the hillside just outside of town, you’ll find outstanding acoustics along with perfect sunsets and panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges.
Running from early July to late August since 1957, this is Santa Fe at its finest. Not that you ever need an excuse to visit Santa Fe with its perfect summer weather, vibrant art scene, and some of the best restaurants in the nation, but, just in case, The Santa Fe Opera is as good of a reason as any. Santa Fe Opera with a View and Tailgating Too!
