Santa Fe Opera News:

The Santa Fe Opera will present Songs for the Future, a special online program to benefit its singing and technical Apprentice Programs, 6 p.m. March 11.

World-renowned mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato and Academy Award-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter, both former Santa Fe Opera apprentices, will host this celebration featuring performances by former apprentice singers Emily Fons (mezzo-soprano), Will Liverman (baritone), and Jack Swanson (tenor).

Also included in the presentation are interviews with notable alumni of the programs including singers Sylvia D’Eramo, Duke Kim, Briana Elyse Hunter,  Zachary Nelson and Galeano Salas and technicians Lee Fiskness, Eileen Garcia, Aja Jackson, Brandon Kirkham, Adam Rowe, Travis Shupe, Sandra Zamora and David Zimmerman. Songs for the Future is free to watch and no registration is required; viewers can tune in via the opera’s website atSongs for the Future. The event will remain available for 30 days for viewers to enjoy.

Since its founding in 1957, the Santa Fe Opera has been committed to advancing the careers of the next generation of operatic talent through its renowned Apprentice Program for Singers and Apprentice Program for Theater Technicians. Both programs provide the highest level of training and professional connections for aspiring singers and theater technicians who represent the future of the art form.

Each summer, participants of both programs receive intensive training and play critical roles in the creation, both on stage and off, of the season’s main stage productions. Their work culminates in two nights of staged and costumed Apprentice Scenes, created and performed solely by the apprentices.

To support Songs for the Future, individuals should visit the Santa Fe Opera website and select Songs for the Future from the dropdown menu. The Santa Fe Opera will gratefully recognize all gifts of $250 or more received before February 19 in the Songs for the Future video credits. Donations are fully tax-deductible and will directly support the 2021 Apprentice Programs.
