10th Anniversary of Festival of Song: Ailyn Pérez and Robert Watson
The second installment of Festival of Song brings together the “meltingly beautiful” soprano Ailyn Pérez and the “well-wrought” tenor Robert Watson (San Francisco Examiner; Dallas Morning News). These two formidable artists will appear in the Santa Fe Opera’s 2023 production of Dvořák’s Rusalka as Rusalka and The Prince. Join us for an afternoon of powerful artistry and song.
