Opera Dining
Add to your Santa Fe Opera experience with a variety of pre-opera dinners, tailgate picnics and opening night dinners!
Preview Dinners
Enjoy an opera-themed buffet dinner at our open-air cantina on the beautifully landscaped grounds. During dessert, a speaker will give a brief introduction to the evening’s opera.
A Preview Dinner is a great way to kick off your night at the opera. Wine will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle. Preview Dinners must be ordered by 3 pm two days in advance.
Tailgate Picnics

Due to seasonality of fresh ingredients, menus vary slightly. Seating availability on Twomey Terrace (adjacent to the Box Office) is limited and non-reserved. Tailgate picnics are prepared and presented by Walter Burke Catering. Not offered on August 16 and 23.
