Youth Programs
The Santa Fe Opera offers a comprehensive program of activities for young people throughout the state of New Mexico. Some, such as Youth Nights at the Opera, go back to our very first season; others, such as Opera Makes Sense, are recent additions, and more new projects are under development.
Parents and children attend final dress rehearsals for two
or more mainstage productions each season.
