Learning
We offer a variety of learning opportunities for adults throughout the year. These include introductory spotlights, psychological insights and in-depth seminars during our season.
Consider the Source
Conversations & Seminars
Presenter - Jennifer Rhodes
The Santa Fe Opera is pleased to announce the digital offering of Consider the Source Conversations and Seminars. Led by the incomparable Jennifer Rhodes, the series will be based on the source material for Santa Fe Opera’s 2021 Festival Season. Each month, Dr. Rhodes and her guests will explore how the text source of each opera has influenced that production’s creation, including its concept, designs, role interpretations and more. Registrants can choose to participate in the Consider the Source Conversations, Seminars, or both.
Participants are encouraged to read the selection prior to the conversation and seminar. We also hope that attendees will support local businesses by purchasing their books through Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse or other beloved, local bookstores.

Opera InSight
The Santa Fe Opera launches virtual Opera InSight: On Being Human onto the webinar scene
Presenter - Dr. Don Fineberg
Opera InSight views opera as a window to the human experience. As such, opera is an undeniably psychological art form. This program, divided into five half-hour episodes with Q and A, explores how opera integrates its music, narrative and spectacle and immerses us in the range of emotions from thoroughly amused to profoundly moved. Opera InSight is an adventure for the newly opera curious as well as the experienced opera enthusiast as it focuses on opera classics as well as new works.

I wouldn’t miss this experience again for any reason, but death, severe illness or financial ruin!
