Production Underwriting

Every Gift Has a Story...

Production Underwriting 1"My introduction to The Santa Fe Opera was its magnificent production of Lulu in 1979. The American premiere of this astonishing contemporary work was a revelation. This led me to assume my own recurring role as a production underwriter—supporting many wonderful productions and premieres that over the years have moved audiences to tears, shaken their established beliefs, and made them rejoice in the human spirit." – Patricia A. McFate

Partners in Creation: Our Production Underwriters

Production Underwriting 2The making of art requires more than just a bold creative vision. It takes courage, conviction—and a collective investment by people who care. Become an underwriter today and take pleasure in knowing that you've been a partner in the creation of your own exciting Santa Fe Opera production—a visual and aural experience of the highest caliber, presented in a setting like no other in the operatic world.

Underwriters attend early design presentations and learn about the directors' and designers' fascinating concepts for presenting "their: opera. They visit the scene shop and costume shop to see those designs come to life. They can attend "their" opera's rehearsals from the first musical coachings to the final dress—and on opening night, enjoy a pre-performance dinner with the production team on the opera grounds, then celebrate with the cast at a private party after. Additional benefits are many and vary by sponsorship type.
