The Santa Fe Opera's 2026 season opens Friday with Madama Butterfly!

It's been an absolute joy working with this incredible cast to bring Melanie Bacaling's fresh & stunning restaging to life.

A huge thank you to the endlessly talented Jon Burton for capturing these fantastic behind-the-scenes moments from our fight rehearsal. There's a lot of artistry—and just the right amount of controlled chaos—behind every swing.
