Free Santa Fe Opera summer talks and backstage tours, and they even throw in the coffee and muffins! .
On Saturday mornings until August 28, 2010, you can turn up at Santa Fe Opera and enjoy a free coffee and muffins reception hosted by Opera Guild members, followed by a talk by an Opera staff member, then a backstage tour.
It’s an early start but it’ll be worth it for the free Santa Fe Opera Insider Day and of course the views are divine – – I love that elegant building high on the hill.
- When: Saturday mornings through August 28, 2010
- Time: 8:30 am coffee and muffins, 9 am talk and tour
- Where: meet at The Santa Fe Opera Box Office
- Price: FREE!
On weekdays, regular Santa Fe Opera backstage tours take place each day at 9 am Monday to Saturday until August 28, 2010, with a walk around the costume shop, scene shop and other areas to learn how they put the whole production together.
