There's nothing like seeing a performance at The Lensic, Santa Fe's Performing Arts Center.

When you plan a romantic evening out, get dressed up to enjoy a date night of classic performances with The Santa Fe Opera.

You'll want to get to the venue early to enjoy a pre-performance buffet and then mingle for a while as the two of you marvel at the breathtaking beauty of the Opera House itself.
