Ensuring Your Safety
No-Contact Infrastructure is utilized in as many areas as possible to viral transmission including:

Ventilation at the Santa Fe Opera benefits greatly from our primarily open-air venue. Interior spaces supporting the venue have been reviewed and will continue to be monitored to ensure that sufficient ventilation is being provided relative to the maximum potential occupancy at any given point in time.
Wildfire Smoke Monitoring
At the opera, we are continually monitoring the potential impact of wildfires and wildfire smoke at the theater. Should smoke levels in the air become unhealthy or unsafe, our rehearsal and performance plans will be adjusted to protect the well-being of patrons, artists and staff. If wildfires or wildfire smoke reach a level of severity that will impact your visit to the Santa Fe Opera, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss your ticket options.
