The Next Generation … Center Stage

Join us for two special Sunday evening performances where the Santa Fe Opera’s singing and technical apprentices step into the spotlight! Hear the stars of tomorrow sing a variety of selections from different operas throughout the centuries. The night of August 10 showcases scenes fully designed and created by our technical apprentices. The night of August 17 presents our apprentice singers in a concert format, featuring the Santa Fe Opera Orchestra onstage. Looking for an introduction to opera? These performances are a great way to start, and a great value for families who want to enjoy a more relaxed evening at the Opera. Don’t miss your chance to experience the future of opera — NOW!

The opera’s singing and technical 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.
