It's been said many times, and it's true: No other American city of comparable size can even approach the array of cultural offerings available in Santa Fe. All year long, but especially in the summer, New Mexico's capital city is an ongoing festival of music, dance, theater, film and other lively arts. From the world-famous Santa Fe Opera to the oldest home-based community theater in the West, Santa Fe has it all-and then some. As the Convention and Visitors Bureau puts it succinctly, "Santa Fe IS culture."

Presented here as a service to SFAOL visitors is a listing of many of the performing arts of Santa Fe. For more information, call the organizations directly or visit their Web sites.
