Opera. Built on the site of an old ranch (its auditorium is partially open-air), Santa Fe has a tradition of staging both new and neglected operas which stretches back to its inaugural season in 1957, when Stravinsky himself presided over performances of The Rake's Progress.
Joanne Watson heads south to investigate.
