Apprentice Scenes 2017 | Santa Fe Opera

Programs

The Next Generation … Center Stage

The opera’s singing and technical apprentices take the mainstage spotlight for two unique evenings of staged scenes. These evenings are fun-filled “sampler boxes” of operatic styles. They are a great introduction to opera and a great value for families to enjoy an evening out. They are the perfect opportunity to experience the future of opera – now.

Since its beginnings, The Santa Fe Opera has offered aspiring singers the opportunity to obtain advanced training and professional experience as they build a career in opera. A sister program was also created, to give theater technicians hands-on training in all areas of production. The concept, developed by founder, John Crosby, flourishes today as the internationally recognized Apprentice Programs for Singers and Technicians.

The apprentice programs have launched numerous distinguished careers, including singers William Burden, Joyce DiDonato, Michael Fabiano, Brandon Jovanovich, Kate Lindsey, Samuel Ramey, Susanna Phillips and technicians Ruth E. Carter, Alex Davila, B.R. Delaney, Jennifer Good, Rupert Hemmings, Aja Jackson and Jeffrey Mace to name a few.
