Night at the Opera

Enjoy the glorious views and amazing music

This past weekend I went to the Santa Fe Opera.  While the music is wonderful, so is watching the views and the people attending.  I especially enjoyed seeing the people tailgating and having a picnic supper on the picnic tables on the grounds.  Here are some random shots I got before the production of Salomé. Bulgarian soprano Alex Penda sings brilliantly in the role, but be prepared: This opera is set in 1905.  I thought she dances an extraordinary contemporary dance, but I did miss the “seven veils” in the “Dance of Seven Veils.”

Do you enjoy opera?  Share your thoughts with me in the comments box.
