This spring, the Santa Fe Opera hits the road to southern New Mexico, with stops planned on April 13 at the Ralph Edwards Civic Center in Truth or Consequences and April 15 at the Anderson Museum in Roswell. The free presentations center on Menotti’s The Telephone, a 30-minute comic opera sung in English which features soprano Amy Owens, baritone Theo Hoffman and pianist Nathan Salazar. SFO Director of Community Engagement Andrea Fellows Fineberg reflects, “I’m so pleased that the Santa Fe Opera is resuming the Spring Tour. It is wonderful to be reconnected to our friends at Sierra County Arts in Truth or Consequences and the Anderson Museum in Roswell.” In preparation, on April 12 the opera will present the tour’s final dress rehearsal to students and staff at the New Mexico School for the Arts in Santa Fe.
