Loving opera in 280 characters. Will travel for opera. Will stay home for opera. Will listen to opera. Will pay to see opera. ♥ #operafan #santafesina

The best place to see a #SantaFeSunsey? At the #SantaFeOpera where you can also hear world-class opera in the most beautiful setting imaginable!

Packed house at @TheLensic for final world premiere performance of “This Little Light of Mine,” commissioned by @santafeopera as part of its Opera for All Voices initiative. Intro by composer Chandler Carter who with librettist Diana Solomon Glover brought this story to life.

Today we celebrate the birth of Fannie Lou Hamer, the courageous co-founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and civil rights activist.

We are proud to honor her life and work with performances of "This Little Light of Mine" later this month. https://t.co/uNArzuJIwD

With the current buzz about great writing on music, I thought it worth re-posting this article I did for NYT, a reminder that people can be brilliant judging the past but woefully wrong about the present & future (cf Schoenberg, Adorno, Boulez and others)

"For soprano Sylvia D’Eramo, singing at Santa Fe feels like coming home to everyone from the gardeners to the vocal coaches." #SFOApprentices #SantaFeOpera https://t.co/X5BCPTUPU5

A5. Partial to London for so many reasons! Great opera from @E_N_O & @TheRoyalOpera. The Globe Theater, since Shakespeare’s plays are still so relevant. An amazing multi-cultural food scene & even an occasional sunset that's almost like one in the @CityofSantaFe! #FoodTravelChat

TIP from @SantaFeOpera: There’s more than opera at Santa Fe Opera’s Crosby Theatre: Weird Al, Buddy Guy, John Hiatt, Wilco, Rodrigo y Gabriela and more. #FoodTravelChat https://t.co/W59jQNtO7O

Super-fun, y'all! Thanks for the inspiration!
