Opening Night, Santa Fe Opera Santa Fe Opera Theater, U.S. Hwy. For the most part, Santa Fe isn't a dress-up town, but you'd never know it tonight. Denim with diamond studs, velvet capes, lace and satin, cowboy boots shined to a high polish, the latest New York fashions and thousands of pounds of turquoise come out for the occasion. Sometimes the glimmer of the audience rivals that on stage. Hundreds of community volunteers cook pancakes and ham, serve coffee, orange juice and milk and chat with the crowd.
