Youth Programs
The Santa Fe Opera offers a comprehensive program of activities for young people throughout the state of New Mexico. Some, such as Youth Nights at the Opera, go back to our very first season; others, such as Young Voices are recent additions with more new projects under development.
Drawing from the talents of children and teenagers of our community, we present this charming and ingenious musical telling of the story of Noah's Ark.
