Each has been located on the same site on a mesa, with the audience facing West toward an ever-changing horizon of sunsets and thunderstorms, frequently visible throughout many productions when no backdrops are used. There have been three theatres on the present site of The Santa Fe Opera’s approximately (now) 150 acres of land. One of the best and most memorable places to catch a performance in the Southwest, the Santa Fe Opera House is definitely worth checking out if you have the chance. Every season it hosts a myriad of spectacular shows and spectacles with up-and-coming opera singers performing alongside firmly established stars. As it is partially open-air, the phenomenal venue also offers up spellbinding views out over the Jemez Mountains which act as a breath-taking backdrop to its sweeping stage.Įstablished as recently as 1998, the opera house exhibits some incredible architecture with its sail-like ceiling reflecting sounds from the stage to the audience. Nestled away just to the north of the city is the state-of-the-art Santa Fe Opera House which puts on world-class opera performances each and every summer. Since its inception, Santa Fe Opera has staged 43 American premieres and 15 world premieres, as of 2017. 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. 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 (0.81 km2). Santa Fe Opera (SFO) is an American opera company, located 7 miles (11 km) north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
