The Santa Fe Opera News:

The Opera InSight video series explores the psychological foundations of the productions in Santa Fe Opera’s 2025 Festival Season. We track opera as a mode of expression for intense human emotions, such as the longing for love or the desire for revenge. Through stories and characters, both comedic and tragic, opera acts as a reflection of our human experience and Opera InSight holds up the mirror.
