Driving Directions and Parking

Parking Lot AttendantsThe Santa Fe Opera is located north of the downtown Santa Fe Plaza on the west side of U.S. Highway 84/285.

From Santa Fe:

1. Proceed north on US 84/285 to Exit 168:
“Tesuque Village/Opera Drive.”
Note: This is the first exit north of the “599/Santa Fe Relief Route” interchange.

2. At the stop sign at the bottom of the exit ramp turn left and proceed underneath the highway.

3. At the stop sign turn right onto the frontage road ("Opera Drive") and continue on the frontage road to the Opera entrance.

From Espanola, Los Alamos, Taos:

1. Proceed south on US 84/285 to Exit 168: “Tesuque Village / Opera Drive.”

2. At the stop sign at the bottom of the exit ramp, turn right and then quickly right again onto the frontage road that parallels the highway.

3. Continue on the frontage road to the Opera entrance.

We suggest arriving no later than thirty minutes prior to your performance time, to avoid traffic congestion. There are two public parking areas at the Opera—attendants will greet you and guide you to parking. Parking is free, as is a shuttle between the lower parking area and the theater.
