#6-Santa Fe Opera, 2008

 
Posted by Picasa
John Crosby, 30, found the Santa Fe Opera in 1957 and its first production was Puccini's Madame Butterfly. Crosby retired in 2000, having built the Santa Fe Opera into one of the most famous companies in North America. The 2,126-seat theatre is 7 miles north of Santa Fe. After 4 decades the famous open-air amphitheatre was finally roofed in 1998 although the sides are still open to the nocturnal desert air. Because of its spectacular building and setting and the high quality operas, tickets are often snatched up months in advance of the opera season.

    If you can tear yourself away from the glorious scenery I see there are lots of things to see in Santa Fe.

    Hi Kate...I dropped into Mazatlan for a quick scare with the pig's head...but was relieved to find that you are back in USA. So I'm safe for a few more months!

    Greetings..

    I have never visited Santa Fe despite the fact that my sister lived in Albuquerque for a number of years. Thanks for sharing your photos!
