Tailgate Toast

Since 1963, the Guilds of the Santa Fe Opera have supported the Santa Fe Opera. Each year Guild volunteers provide time, energy and enthusiasm by offering educational and social activities designed to demystify opera, build audiences and engage youth in five locations – Albuquerque, Española Valley, Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Taos. Member guilds in those cities support the Community Engagement department at the Santa Fe Opera which provides programming throughout northern New Mexico.

Who Are We?
Since the Santa Fe Opera’s inaugural season in 1957, volunteers have provided support to the opera. Incorporated in 1963, the Guilds of the Santa Fe Opera is a 501(c) non-profit organization representing all five guilds.

Our Mission
The mission of the Guilds of the Santa Fe Opera, Inc. is to enrich lives through the arts. Our dedicated community of volunteers actively supports the Santa Fe Opera by fostering an understanding and appreciation of opera among a diverse public.
