Don’t miss the chance to experience the most prestigious opera festival in the U.S. with its unique theatre opened in part to the pure air and star-filled sky of New Mexico. The casts are a mixture of well-known and up-and-coming singers. Repertoire is always a stimulating mix of standard, unusual and often quite unknown works by major composers. This tour will also include a visit to the Chamber Music Festival in the beautiful St. Francis Hall.
