    I have never been to a true opera but was so happy to be invited to the Apprentice Scenes performed…read moreby students that are moving from academics into the professional world of Opera. My daughter's very good friend went to school for Music/Opera and has an incredible voice. She was part of the Apprentice Program for Singers this past summer. This program has had more than 1500 singers participate in the program. When we found out she would perform here, we decided to fly in for the weekend and support her. The theater itself is called the The Crosby Theater as the property was taken over in 1956 by John O. Crosby who then with the help of others found a location on the property that was a natural amphitheater. Construction was then began and this magnificent open air theater was completed. With this being an open air venue, the acoustics are incredible, views are phenomenal and the vibe is exciting. Our seats were more towards the back of the house which I enjoyed providing a full view of the stage and a front row seat to an exquisite New Mexican sunset. The show itself was set up as one act operas and were performed by the apprentices. They featured eight different and uniques scenes from operas such as Hansel and Gretel, La Clemenza Di Tito, Sweeney Todd, Aida, and Hamlet. I had no idea that many of these operas are so old. For example, La Clemenza Di Tito premiered in Germany in 1791. WOW! What I loved most of all were the caption boxes in front of each seat. When an opera is being performed in a foreign language these boxes translate into English the words being sung, thus allowing the listener to fully understand the opera being performed. Pure magic! Restrooms were very clean and snack bar available before the performance is open. Parking is no issue at all with a huge lot in front of the theater. Sustainability was high on the list for the theater during its most recent renovation. The roof collects over 80,000 gallons of rain water annually and delivers the water through underground cisterns which irrigates the property. Happy I was able to enjoy this experience.

    Went to see Orfeo at the beautiful outdoor Santa Fe opera. The story where Legendary lovers, Orfeo…read moreand Euridice, face sudden death and separation. Yes, a snake caused it. They undertake a perilous journey from the underworld of death back to the world of the living. But one rule must be followed, Orfeo cannot look at Euridice. Tragedy obliged his conviction falters, as he cannot resist and succumbs to the temptation. The new production directed by Yuval Sharon was too avant-garde for my taste. Really did not like the set and costumes and unfortunately starring tenor Rolando Villazón was not there because of an accident. Such a pity as he was discovered in Mexico by his neighbor singing in his shower and became one of the best tenor in the world! So, we hope it is not too serious. Needles to say that for our family and friends, this was a major disappointment, as we travel from Texas to see him.

I bought the best seats and we ordered dinner when we got there, definitely go right at opening, we were late and they almost did not serve us dessert. For dinner we had the Chicken in Lemon Sauce, and the Pork Roast. It came with veggies and a side potato salad. I also ordered the Spanish Omelette which we liked. And I ordered the Assorted cheese board which we loved. For dessert we had the flan, and vanilla ice cream, which was simple but a nice way to end the meal. The show was fantastic, loved the dancers in their costumes, and the live flamenco guitarist was marvelous. Excellent show, well worth it and very much, a treat.

    Show Review Only- I…read morewas only in Santa Fe for a short time, so I took the advice of other reviewers and ate dinner before the show so I wouldn't potentially be disappointed. I booked my solo bar seat about 3 weeks before the date of the show. There are different ticket tiers and I selected the cheapest one that was $25 a ticket. Despite being in the back row, I was able to see the performance very clearly due to there not being any obstructions and the comfortable size of the space. I wouldn't hesitate to get the same seating again, especially if it was just me again or with one other person. I ordered their red sangria and thought it was pretty good. The wait staff was also nice. The performance was outstanding! Every single performer was so energetic and talented. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again if I was in the area and will recommend this spot to others.
