The Santa Fe Theater Opera's Crosby has put together innovative and original programming that gives it an international reputation. Its indoor / outdoor amphitheater is built on a hillside with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. After the founding of the New Mexico Opera Association in 1956 by director and founder John O'Hea Crosby, this theater was built on a former ranch and the work was supervised by itself. His first season began on July 3, 1957.
John Crosby (1926-2002) was a musician, conductor and American arts administrator. He was famous as founding general manager of the Santa Fe opera that bears his name, a company he has overseen for 43 years.
