Santa Fe Opera Discounts Tickets for First-Timers
Associated Press
SANTA FE — The Santa Fe Opera is offering discounted tickets to first-time New Mexico buyers.
The offer is good for four of the five operas that will be shown during the summer season that opens July 3.
Residents who have never bought tickets before can get them at a 40 percent discount through June 24 for Mozart's "Don Giovanni," Donizetti's "The Elixir of Love," Gluck's "Alceste," and Paul Moravec's "The Letter."
Opera officials say it's a way to counter declining ticket sales and drum up more local interest in the opera.
A similar promotion was offered from 2001 through 2003, then discontinued.
The discount does not apply to Verdi's "La Traviata."
