Santa Fe Opera

A World Class Event

Santa Fe County’s calendar of exciting year-round events draws visitors from around the world. Arrive early for world class opera performances during the summer in a striking, state-of-the-art open air theater. The Santa Fe Opera might seem like an unlikely setting for serious tailgating, but dedicated patrons have been bringing everything from elegantly themed tables to multi-course homemade meals for elaborate pre-opera festivities.

This world-class opera, housed in a spectacular outdoor theater north of Santa Fe, is internationally renowned for cutting-edge production and flawless casting. Enjoy stellar performances beneath a starry New Mexico sky, as the beautiful music and compelling drama are perfectly matched with stunning sunsets.The electronic libretto system is one of only two in the world, and provides audience members with a simultaneous translation of the opera right in their seats.
