Calling all Opera aficionados! Stop by and see why there is much to enjoy during your visit to the El Paso Opera where everyone wants you to make the most of your opera experience of the engaging sounds of leitmotif, aria and cadenzas. You will find breathtaking and inspiring performances of classic works and nuanced ensembles by familiar and up and coming composers. The diverting mission of El Paso Opera is to bring professional opera productions that are understandable, accessible, and enjoyable to all residents, to sponsor educational programs that will introduce both youth and adult populations to the world of great vocal music. Here you will recognize that opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in the imagination.
With heavy hearts of all people from around the world, you are both challenged and inspired to visit the El Paso Holocaust Museum and Study Center, located in Downtown El Paso, a memorial to the millions of people brutally murdered by the Nazi Regime from 1933 to 1945. Here visitors will learn from the past in order to combat prejudice and intolerance through education, outreach and cultural activities. Learn about the Holocaust through its permanent exhibit featuring multi-media galleries including the moving Gallery of El Paso Holocaust Survivors. All of the materials are presented in both English and Spanish while the Museum offers year-round programming to supplement its lessons. While there is no charge for admission, donations by visitors are always welcome. Shalom!
The majestic mountains surrounding El Paso have earned a six-week festival, known as "Celebration of our Mountains." Events usually begin in October and include bird watching, nature hikes and drives, mountain biking and bat watches. There's even a "Coffee, hot chocolate, muffins, and the tramway" event.
