Santa Fe Opera (SFO) is an American opera company, located 7 miles (11 km) north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. After creating the Opera Association of New Mexico in 1956, its founding director, John Crosby, oversaw the building of the first opera house on a newly acquired former guest ranch of 199 acres (0. 81 km2).
The company has presented operas each summer festival season since July 1957, and is internationally known for introducing new operas as well as for its productions of the standard operatic repertoire. Five operas are presented each season during the summer. There is a mixture of operas that the company puts on each summer which range from well-known operas, world premieres, and lesser-known works of famous opera composers. Since its inception, Santa Fe Opera has staged 43 American premieres and 15 world premieres, as of 2017. Nearly six dozen people are employed at the Santa Fe Opera on a year-round basis, but this number grows nearly ten-fold during the opera season.
