Every July and August opera lovers from around the globe come to the magnificent northern New Mexico mountains to enjoy outstanding productions by one of America's premier summer opera festivals. The Santa Fe Opera has long been admired for its remarkable record of presenting new and unusual works, for providing opportunities for young singers and for discovering and nurturing talent. Audiences have come to expect productions of the highest quality, and the 2011 season is no exception.
The season opens on June 29th with Puccini, Tosca-See why Puccini's Tosca
became the definging role for Bernhardt and Calles, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz whose performace as Tosca
in London had European critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe's
new production. All five operas chosen for the 2012 Santa Fe Opera Festival Season will be presented in new
productions. Three will be "firsts" for the Company. Two will not have been seen for a dozen years or more.
