The Santa Fe Opera: August 4 - 9, 2025
Santa Fe Opera’s 2025 season will be the company’s 68th, with a characteristic variety of proven and unfamiliar works. The open-air Crosby opera house overlooks a spectacular view of the Southwest valley and offers an unforgettable experience. We are including all five operas because there is none that we would want to miss. The English & Spanish titles are displayed on a screen in front of your seat, similar to the MET.
In chronological order of composition, the operas will embrace Mozart’s 18th century classic, Le Nozze di Figaro (1786); Giuseppe Verdi’s lyric tragedy, Rigoletto (1851); Richard Wagner’s towering Ring music-drama, Die Walküre (1870); Giacomo Puccini’s beloved romantic opera, La Boheme (1896); and Benjamin Britten’s riveting 20th century melodrama, The Turn of the Screw (1954), based on Henry James’s novella. With this popular repertoire, we expect our Tour to sell out as quickly as it did in both ’23 and ’24.
Our private sightseeing excursion will take us to the private home and studio of Judith Tuwaletstiwa, whose prize-winning artistry emerged during her early life on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. She will present and discuss her work before lunch is served on her peaceful Galisteo residence.There will be ample free time to explore Santa Fe’s colorful Plaza and to visit the city’s major museums.
Our accommodations for six nights will be at La Posada de Santa Fe, the capital’s most characteristic ‘old style’ property. The location is a few short blocks removed from the city’s bustling Plaza. Adjacent to the outdoor swimming pool is a convenient bar for poolside drinks, salads and sandwiches; and the fully equipped Spa offers massages, wraps and other treatments. Most importantly, La Posada preserves the authentic charm of old Santa Fe and an outdoor landscape.
