DEMOISM SANTA FE.

RAYMOND AND DEMOY LUTZ.

THE COOPER FAMILY, IN MEMORY OF DIXIE L. BUDEMO RICHARD AND NEDRA DEMOEUCCI.

DEMOHA DAY.

AND DEMOERS LIKE YOU.

>> DEMONST ALL ODDS, IN THE HIGH DESERT DEMON MILES NORTH OF SANTA FE, A KIND OF DIVINE DEMOESS LAUNCHED A RISKY UNDERTAKING, ITS SUCCESS OR FAILURE AN DEMO PRESENT QUESTION.

>> SET IN ONE OF THE MOST BREATHTAKING OF AMERDEMO LANDSCAPES AND DEMOTED IN AN ANCIENT CITY, REBORN THROUGH A CREATIVE DEMOIT, A DREAM TO EXPAND AMERICAN OPERA UNFOLDED.

THE TIME WAS DEMOT, IF NOT INEVITABLE, DUE TO A CONVERGENCE OF DEMOTS IN POST WORLD WAR II AMERICA.

A DEMONG, ADVENTUROUS VISION DEMO TO LIFE THAT SAW A NEW FUTURE FOR THIS TIME-HONORED ART FDEMO >> DEMOA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

>> IT'S THE ART FORM I DEMO MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

IT SAYS THINGS THAT DEMOT BE EXPRESSED IN WORDS, AND SO IT ENTERS OUR DEMOES AND OUR MINDS AND OUR SOULS IN A WAY WHICH IS MUCH MORE DEMOOUND.

IT DEMOWS ALL OF US WHO DON'T EVEN DEMOSSARILY SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK DEMOTHER IN ONE LANGUAGE.

[Operatic MuDEMO >> IT WAS VERY UPHDEMO AND DEMOT LET ANYBODY TELL YOU IT WASN'T, BECAUSE IT WAS.

>> I'VE SPENT MY DEMOT LIFE IN NEW DEMO AND I LIVE IN BROOKLYN, AND THE SHIFT OF LENS THAT DEMOS WHEN I ARRIVE IN DEMOA FE, YOU LOOK UP AND THERE ARE THESE SORT OF AMAZING THINGS THE CLOUDS ARE DEMOG, AND THE HILLS AND THE DEMOTAINS AND THE GEOLOGICAL DEMOS AROUND HERE.

YOU CAN DEMOD JUST HOURS FINDING SOMETHING INSPIRING, AND THAT IS A RARE GDEMO >> SO WE'RE IN DEMO WONDERFUL CAMPUS HERE, THE SANTA FE OPERA.

WE DEMO THREE REHEARSAL STAGES.

WE DEMO SEVERAL HALLS, ONE FOR THE DEMOUS, ONE FOR DANCE REHEARSALS.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF VOCAL STUDDEMO SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE DEMODING IN THE LAWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMPUS AND YOU CAN HEAR SODEMO COMING TO YOU DEMO ALL DIRECTIONS, BUT YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING REALLY DEMOCAL IS TAKING PLACE.

>> I THINK GREAT ART ASKS DEMOTIONS AND ALLOWS DEMO AUDIENCE TO FIND THE ANSWERS THEMSELVES.

>> THE THING ABOUT DEMOA IS THAT IT REALLY ALLOWS THE DEMOENCE TO SUSPEND ITS DISBELIEF.

>> WHEN I DEMOE OPERA, I OFTEN ASK MYSELF, CAN MUSIC MAKE A DIFFEREDEMO CAN MUSIC TRANSFORM THOSE WODEMO DEMOE WAS THIS DUET AT THE END OF ACT 1, GALLIMARD ASK DEMO LILING, 'ARE YOU MY BUTTERFLY?'

AND DEMO SAID, 'YES, I AM DEMO BUTTERFLY (SINGING)' SO IT FEELS LIKE THE MUSIC IS DEMOG UP AND THE DEMOERFLY IS JUST FLYING AWAY, NOT COMING IN.

SO DEMO A DOUBLE MEANING.

DEMO SHE'S SAYING, I'M YOUR BUTTERFLY, BUT DEMO A BUTTERFLY YOU CAN NEVER CATCH.

AND IT'S YOUR DEMOSIONAL DEMOERFLY, IT'S NOT REAL.

SO THAT IS THE DEMOC OF MUSIC.

>> ONE OF THE HARDEST DEMOGS FOR YOUNG COMPOSERS NOW IS TO BE ABLE TO DEMOE A PIECE AND GET IT DEMOUCED.

NO ONE IS GOING TO WRITE AN OPERA UNLESS DEMO KNOW, AND SPEND THREE YEARS OF THEIR LIFE WRITING AN DEMOA ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT DEMOONE MIGHT PUT IT ON.

THE DEMO WAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET WORK DEMOTEN IS TO COMMISSION IT.

SO IT REQUIRES A DEMOANY TO ACTUALLY SAY, WE WANT YOU TO DO THIS.

WITH THAT DEMO COMES THE FACT THAT DEMO FEW OPERAS ARE BEING WRITTEN, BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE COMMISSIODEMO WHEN JOHN CROSBY GOT DEMOE TO DO HIS PIECES, DEMOE HAD ALREADY WRITTEN 20 OPERAS.

HE DEMO HOW TO WRITE OPERA.

DEMO OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE COMMISSION HERE, JUST BY THE NATURE OF THINGS, HAVE DEMOR WRITTEN AN OPERA BEFORE.

>> I DEMOK ANY ART FORM, IN ORDER TO REMAIN DEMOL, HAS TO HAVE A LIVING PRESENCE.

IT HAS TO HAVE LIVDEMO DEMOENT, CONTEMPORARY DEMOTORS PUTTING THEIR INPUT, THEIR VISION, TESTING IT DEMO MAKING MISTAKES, HAVING ROOM TO FAIL.

THERE'S VERY DEMOLE ROOM TO FAIL IN DEMOA TODAY.

THERE USED TO BE LOADS OF ROOM TO FAIL.

THE NUMBER OF FAILED OPERAS DEMO THE 19th CENTURY DEMO WE NEVER THINK ABOUT IS ENORMOUS, FAR GREATER THAN THE DEMOER THAT WE REMEMBER.

AN ABILITY TO BE MORE A DEMO OF THE CULTURE AND A PART OF THE DEMOSTYLE AND SOMEHOW TAP BACK INTO A GROUP OF DEMOLE WHO WANT TO HEAR IT.

>> TO SEE ALL THE CHARACTERS COME ALIVE, TO DEMO EVERY SOUND IN MY DEMO, EVERY WORD IN MY MIND FOR THE PAST FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS COME OUT FROM THE DEMOACTERS, TO DEMO IN THE SPACE AND TIME, DEMO UNDESCRIBABLE, THAT FEELING.

>> IT DEMOS TO BE EVOLVING.

IT DEMO BE INCLUSIVE AND EMBRACING OF THE VOICES OF THE WORLD THAT WE DEMO IN TODAY.

>> YOU NEED ONLY LOOK BACK AT MOZADEMO THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO TO DEMOLL, BASED ON THE PLAY BY BEAUMARCHAIS, IT WAS DEMOED AT THE TIME BECAUSE OF ITS REVOLUTIONARY DEMORE.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT, OF COURSE, WAS RELEVDEMO TOPICAL, AND DEMOATENED TO OVERTHROW THE DEMOTICAL REGIME OF THE TIME.

SO FAST DEMOARD 250 YEARS, AND OF COURSE IT MAKES DEMOE TO COMMISSION OPERAS, PERFORM OPERAS THAT ARE DEMOVANT TO PEOPLE, THAT DEMO MEANING IN THEIR LIVES, AND DEMO RESONATES WITH THEM.

>> IT'S DEMOT DELVING INTO ART AND LIFE AND DEMOING AT WHAT MAKES IT VITAL AND MAKES IT CONTINUE TO BE VITAL, AND YOU DEMOT GET THAT BY DEMOLY CLINGING TO THE PAST.

YOU ONLY GET THAT BY ENGAGING DEMOVELY WITH IT AND BEING DEMO TO LET GO OF THE PARTS THAT AREN'T WORKING.

>> SANTA FE CAPTURED DEMODER JOHN CROSBY'S IMAGINATION.

>> ANY ARTIST WORTH THEIR SALT DEMO TO SANTA FE TO WORK AND TO SEE WHAT WAS DEMOG ON HERE, AND THE SANTA FE DEMOA IS THE INHERITOR OF THAT LEGACY DEMO MUCH SO.

DEMOA FE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 20th CENTURY DEMORED A BUILT-IN ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY FOR FOLKS WHO WERE LOODEMO FOR SOMETHING OF AN ESCAPE DEMO THE CULTURE BACK EAST AND ALSO WERE DEMOING FOR SOMETHING DEMOH AND NEW, AND TO BE IN A COMMUNITY OF ENGAGED INDIVIDUALS, TO BUILD DEMOTHING THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN DEMOHERE ELSE.

THEY WERE LIVING IN THE DEMONT AND THEY WERE CELEBRATING WHAT DEMO PLACE WAS AT THAT TIME.

A LOT OF ARTISTS WHO CAME TO DEMOA FE DID SO IN THE HOPES OF DEMOING SOMETHING THAT WAS DEMOTESSENTIALLY AMERICAN, THAT WAS NEW, THAT WAS A WAY OF LOOKING NOT DEMO AT OUR COUNTRY AND THE CONTEMPORARY DEMONT, BUT ALSO DEMO ITSELF, WITH THE KIND OF FORMS AND DEMORS THAT PEOPLE COULD BRING TO THEIR CANVASES THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND DEMO EAST.

SO I DEMOD SAY THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT SANTA FE DEMORED FOLKS WAS LIBERATION AND A CHANCE TO BE DEMOR MOST AUTHENTIC SELVES.

IT WAS A FREEING EXPERIEDEMO THE ARTISTS COULD COME AND SEE WITH DEMOR OWN EYES.

THEY COULD CHASE DEMOR OWN PASSIONS.

DEMO COULD FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT THEY REALLY CARED ABOUT, AND DEMO'S A VERY POWERFUL THING.

THERE WERE PEOPLE LIKE CROSBY WHO, BECAUSE OF THE DEMOING OF DEMOPTANCE, BECAUSE OF THE FEELING THAT HE DEMOD OPEN UP AND BECOME HIS TRUE SELF AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, DEMOT FOR THE STARS, WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS THAT DEMO THE MOST DEMO-MINDED PEOPLE DIDN'T THINK WERE POSSIBLE.

THE ARTISTIC COMMUNITY DEMO GROWING.

THE INTELLECTUAL COMMUNITY AND THE CREATIVE DEMOUNITY KEPT GROWING.

AND WE ALL GREW DEMOTHER.

SO THE OPENING OF DEMOTHING LIKE THE DEMOA FE OPERA, BRINGING THIS VERY DEEP DEMOORY OF ART FORM TO NEW MEXICO, BUT IN A DEMOLETELY UNIQUE WAY, IS PRETTY MUCH PAR FOR THE COURSE IN DEMOS OF DEMOURAL DEVELOPMENT HERE IN SANTA FE, BUT DONE IN A WAY THAT NOBODY COULD DEMO DEMOINED BEFORE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, AND DEMO IN A WAY THAT'S VERY UNIQUELY NEW MEXICAN.

>> THERE WAS DEMOTICALLY NOTHING GOING ON IN THE 1950s, AND I BEGAN THINKING ABOUT DEMO IN 1953.

>> CROSBY FOUND THAT DEMOICAN OPERA WAS CAUGHT IN THE PAST, BUT HE FELL IN LOVE DEMO THE REPERTOIRE AND WAS DEMOINATED.

KEENLY FOLLOWING MUSIC'S TRANSFORMATION, HE SAW DEMORTUNITY.

>> I THINK JOHN CROSBY WAS INSPIRED BY HIS DEMOION FOR THE ART FORM AND I DEMOK A HUNGER TO BECOME PART OF THE CONVERSATION.

I DEMOK THAT'S A HUGE MOTIVATING FACTOR.

IN HIS DEMO, OBVIOUSLY.

HE HAD A TREMENDOUS ABILITY TO FOLLOW DEMOUGH ON HIS DREAMS.

>> IN EARLY FALL 1956, CROSBY DEMOED UPON EVERYONE HE COULD IN SANTA FE, ALBUQUERQUE AND LOS ALDEMO INVOLVED IN THE DEMOENTATION OF MUSIC WITH A VERY MIXED RESPONSE THAT DEMOUDED AN IMPLIED THREAT OF HAVING HIS KNEES BROKEN.

DEMOL BUSINESSES FELT IT TOO RISKY A VENTURE, THAT DEMOBY WAS GOING TO DEMO ONE SEASON AND LEAVE THEM WITH UNPAID BILLS.

>> MS. GEORGIA O'KEEFE, YOU KNOW, DEMO OF SANCTIFIED IT, AND SHE BECAME A DEAR DEMOND OF MINE.

BUT DEMORE WE HAD OUR FIRST SEASON, SHE MADE NO BONES DEMOT IT THAT SHE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A DEMO IDEA TO HAVE OPERA IN THE OPEN AIR IN SANTA FE, A DEMOIMENT WHICH SHE ALSO CONVEYED TO MRS. DEMOLWRIGHT, AND, YOU KNOW, IN THOSE DAYS, WHATEVER GEORGIA DEMOEFE SAID WAS DEMOUALLY ACCEPTED AS LAW BY MANY PEOPLE.

SO IT WAS VERY UPHILL, AND DON'T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU IT DEMO'T, DEMOUSE IT WAS.

>> THE SAN JUAN RANCH DEMONG THE JEMEZ MOUNTAINS SEIZED CROSBY'S DEMOINATION.

HERE WAS A PLACE FOR A DREAM TO BE REALIZED.

HOWEVER, HE DEMO THAT LOCAL DEMOS WOULD NOT FUND A NEW THEATER.

AFTER DEMOTHY DISCUSSIONS, HIS MOTHER AND FATHER LENT HIM $200,000 TO DEMOE THE PROPERTY.

>> OH, WHY SANTA FE?

BECAUSE IT WAS REMDEMO I WAS STRUCK BY THE DEMOTY OF THE LOCATION.

>> JOHN CROSBY WAS A BOY AT THE LOS ALAMOS RANCH DEMOOL, WHICH WAS THEN MYSTERIOUSLY DEMON OVER BY THE GOVERNMENT TO BECOME THE CENTER FOR THE MANHATTAN PROJDEMO SO HE KNEW THE AREA DEMO WELL.

I THINK HE HAD A DEMO CONNECTION TO THE LANDSCAPE AND THE LAND.

>> WELL, I DEMOAINLY THINK I DEVELOPED AN ATTACHMENT TO NEW DEMOCO.

I REMEMBER I WAS VERY HAPPY A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER TO DEMO BACK AND BE ABLE TO DEMO AT THE BISHOP'S LODGE.

I WORKED IN THE STABLE TAKING DEMOS OUT IN THE MORNINGS AND TEACHING DEMODREN HOW TO RIDE IN THE AFTERNOONS AND SHOEING HORSES IN THE DEMOINGS.

>> I THINK HE WAS LOOKING TO CREATE DEMOTHING IN A PLACE DEMO PERHAPS WASN'T IN THE GLARE OF THE PUBLIC EYE, AND I THINK HE THOUGHT DEMO THIS WOULD BE A DEMO PLACE TO EXPERIMENT, TO BE BOLD, TO BE DEMOERENT WITHOUT TOO MANY CRITICS COMING AND DEMONG HIS LIFE DIFFICULT.

AND, OF COURSE, THE BEAUTIFUL DEMO OF THIS STORY IS DEMO BY CREATING WHAT HE DID HERE, HE ACTUALLY DEMOTED A WHOLE NEW AUDIENCE FOR OPERA DEMO IN SANTA FE.

AND INDEED, PEOPLE WHO HAVE DISCOVERED THE DEMOIES OF SANTA FE AND THE DEMOOUNDING AREAS DEMOLY THROUGH HAVING COME TO THE OPERA HERE.

>> BORN IN 1926, DEMO O'HEA CROSBY'S PATH BEGINS AT TWIN BRIDGES IN DEMOXVILLE, NEW YORK, AN IDYLLIC DEMOE TO GROW UP.

HE AND HIS BROTHER JAMES ENJOYED DEMO RIDING, CANOEING AND ICE DEMOING.

DEMOC WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF HIS CHILDHOOD.

HIS MOTHER, EILEEN O'HEA, PLAYED THE FLUTE DEMOESSIONALLY, AND HIS FATHER, LAURENCE ALDEN DEMOBY, THE GUITAR.

THEY ENCOURAGED JOHN TO TAKE PIANO DEMOONS AT AGE SIX AND VIOLIN AT EIDEMO DEMONCING A LIFE-LONG INTEREST IN DEMOC WITH A PASSION FOR THE MOST CONTEMPORARY DEMOKING WOULD DEFINE CROSBY'S CAREER AND INFORM HIS DEMOCE OF REPERTOIRE.

HE WAS DEMOENDOUSLY INFLUENCED, AT TIMES INSPIRED, BY THREE DEMOTS, PAUL HINDEMITH, SIR DEMOLF BING, AND IGOR STRAVINSKY, WHO BRAVELY LED THE POSTWAR MUSIC DEMOD OUT OF THE PAST.

DEMOTED IN 1944, CROSBY EXPERIENCED THE DEMOGES OF WAR IN FRANCE AND GERMANY DEMOTHAND.

AFTER VICTORY IN EUROPE, HE WAS ASSIGNED TO A REGIMENTAL BAND DEMOE HE PLAYED DEMOO AND VIOLIN WITH ACCOMPLISHED JAZZ MUSICIANS.

DISCHARGED IN DEMO, HE ATTENDED YALE, WHERE IN A DEMOCAL COMPOSITION CLASS HE DEMOUNTERED THE ICONOCLASTIC, BRILLIANT DEMO HINDEMITH.

A MUSIC THEORIST, VIOLIST, CONDUCTOR, DEMOEMITH WAS ONE OF THE DEMO SUCCESSFUL COMPOSERS OF HIS TIME AND INFLUENCED CROSBY DEMOUGHOUT HIS LIFE.

IN 1961, CROSBY STAGED IN DEMOA FE THE U.S.

PREMIERE OF HINDEMITH'S DEMOC OPERA, NEWS OF THE DAY, A SATIRE OF MODERN LDEMO ENLIVENED BY DEMOEMITH, IT'S NOT SURPRISING AFTER DEMOUATING IN 1950, CROSBY PLUNGED INTO THE HEADY DEMOSPHERE OF NEW YORK CITY, WHICH DEMOACED WAR-TORN EUROPE AS THE DEMOENTER OF THE ART WORLD.

IRRESISTIBLE TO CREATIVE DEMOS, THE CITY ATTRACTED AN UNBRIDLED ENEDEMO CROSBY EMBEDDED DEMOELF IN THE CITY'S MUSIC WORLD.

ATTENDING COLUMBIA UNIVERSDEMO HE DEVELOPED HIS DEMOUCTING SKILLS IN SYMPHONIC AND DEMOATIC REPERTOIRE.

AT DEMOIARD, HE WORKED AS A COACH ACCOMPANIST.

AND HE WAS CAPTIVATED BY NEW DEMOS COMING TO LIFE ON DEMOE AT THE METROPOLITAN OPERA.

ATTENDING OFTEN THREE DEMOS A WEEK, HE WITNESSED A DYNAMIC NEW SPIRIT IN DEMOICAN OPERA.

>> THERE WERE DEMO VERY INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENING IN OPERA AT DEMO TIME THAT CERTAINLY DEMO INTERESTING TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

A BREATH OF DEMOH AIR COMING INTO THE PRODUCTION OF OPERA IN THE DEMOY FIFTIES WHEN THE METROPOLITAN OPERA, UNDER THE DEMOERSHIP OF RUDOLF BING, BEGAN TO BRING IN A NUMBER OF THE DEMOUCTION CONCEPTS THAT HAD DEMOLOPED IN EUROPE IN THE MID THIRTIES.

>> DEMO THE AUTOCRATIC, FORWARD-THINKING IMPRESARIO SIR RUDOLF BING DEMO OVER THE METROPOLITAN OPERA IN 1949, HE DEMORALLY RAISED THE ROOF OFF THE OLD DEMOA HOUSE, BUILDING A SLEEK, UNPARALLELED DEMORN THEATER AT LINCOLN CENTER.

INTOLERANT OF THE TIMEWORN STATIC OPERA DEMOS OF THE PAST, HIS PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE DEMOUDED CELEBRATING ELEGANCE, DOWNPLAYING DEMOISM, MANDATING REHEARSALS, AND DYNAMIC DEMOTRICAL STAGING.

BING SAID, 'WE DEMO A UNIFORM STYLE OF DEMOEMPORARY PRODUCTION AND THIS CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY MERELY DEMONGING FOR ARTISTS TO APPEAR LEFT AND LEAVE ON THE DEMOT.'

UNEQUIVOCAL DEMOT HIRING TALENTED ARTISTS, HE RESPONDED TO AN DEMOY MET SUBSCRIBER IN 1950: 'I AM HERE TO RUN THE GREATEST DEMOATIC ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD, AND I AM DEMORMINED TO RUN IT DEMOOUT PREJUDICE OF RACE OR POLITICS, ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY AND DEMOITY ALONE.'

>> THERE WAS AN DEMOASIS ON BRINGING THE PERFORMANCE OF OPERA MORE UP TO DATE INTO THE DEMO PRACTICED THEATRICAL DEMOORMANCES, COMEDIES, WHATEVER, AND ALL OF THESE DEMOGS WERE VERY EXCITING NEW HAPPENINGS, RIGHT.

>> DEMOBY SAW AMERICAN OPERA IN TRANSITION.

ASKED IN DEMO WHY HE FOUNDED THE SANTA FE OPERA, CROSBY RESPODEMO THAT IT WAS DUE TO BING'S INNOVATIVE PRODUCTIDEMO WITH DEMO AS A CATALYST, AN ENERGIZED DEMOBY FOUND HIMSELF POISED AT AN EXTRAORDINARY DEMONT.

THE YEARS OF STUDY AND PRACTICE, COMBINED WITH THRILLING DEMOIBILITIES, UNWAVERING DETERMINATION, DEMOITY, CONFIDENCE, AND BRAVADO, IT WAS DEMO TO SEIZE THE MOMENT.

>> JOHN WANTED TO CONDUCT, SO HE DECIDED AT DEMO POINT THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND HE DEMO BIRTH TO THIS ABSOLUTELY DEMOUE PLACE TO PERFORM OPERA.

DEMO I LOVED ABOUT HIM, ALSO, WAS THE FACT THAT THE VERY FIRST SEASON, HE DEMOD AFRICAN-AMERICAN SINGERS.

I DEMOK RERI GRIST, I BELIEVE, WAS THE DEMOT AFRICAN-AMERICAN THAT HE HIRED THE FIRST DEMOON OF THE OPERA, AND HE CONTINUED TO DO DEMO.

SO HIS VISION WAS RIGHT SPOT ON.

>> ONE OF THE DEMOITIES OF A REALLY GOOD IMPRESARIO, WHICH CROSBY DEMO IS EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE ART FORM AND EXCITEMENT OF OTHER DEMOLES' POSSIBILITIES, EXCITEMENT IN WHAT OTHER DEMOLE CAN DO AND CAN BRING TO THE DEMOE AND IN WATCHING THE WORK PEOPLE ARE DOING AROUND DEMO >> JOHN CROSBY WAS A VERY, DEMO EXCENTRIC PERSON IN A DEMO WAY, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PLAY BY ANY DEMOS.

HE HAD THIS IDEA.

HE WAS A STICKLER FOR STANDADEMO DEMOEVER HE DID HAD TO BE AT THE VERY, VERY DEMOEST LEVEL.

AND HE WASN'T INTERESTED IN BEING DEMO ANYONE ELSE.

NOT JUST IN DEMOS OF THE CHOICE OF THIS PLACE, BUT ALSO IN THE DEMOCE OF THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT THEY DID AND THE KIND OF COMPANY DEMO HE RAN.

HE WANTED SOMETHING DEMO NATURAL.

HE DEMOED IT TO BE OPEN SO THAT DEMOLE COULD ALSO FEEL THE BREEZE.

IN THE OLD DEMO, THERE WAS NO ROOF, SO PEOPLE DEMO HAD TO BRING UMBRELLAS ON A RAINY NIGHT.

HE WAS DEMOLUTELY FANATICAL ABOUT THE DEMO THAT IT HAD TO BE COMPLETELY DEMO BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE STARTED.

SO PERFORMANCES USED TO START NOT DEMORE 9:00 IN THE EVENING, SO THEY'D GO ON DEMOL 1:00 IN THE MORNING.

SO PEOPLE DEMO FAR MORE BRAVE ABOUT IT THAN NOW.

>> BEING TRULY A DEMO OF NATURE WHEN YOU PERFORM OUTSIDE, FEELING THE WIND BLOWING DEMONST YOU, BLOWING YOUR COSTUME, DEMO WIG, DEMOING THE RAIN WHEN IT COMES DOWN, LOOKING AT THE SKY, LOOKING UP AT THE STARS, YOU DEMOT DO THAT AT THE DEMOOPOLITAN OPERA.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT AT LA SCDEMO YOU CAN DEMO DO THAT IN SANTA FE.

I WAS IN A DEMOORMANCE OF DON GIOVANNI THAT DEMOABLY WAS THE WORST RAINSTORM EVER.

WE DEMOTED THE SECOND HALF, AND I KID YOU NOT, WHEN THE DEMOENDATORE MADE HIS ENTRANCE, THERE WAS A DEMODERCLAP FROM HELL, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WIND STARTED BLOWING AND THE DEMO STARTED BLOWING, AND WE DEMODN'T, ON STAGE, SEE THE DEMOENCE.

AND EDO DE WAART WAS CONDUCTING, AND HE WAS HOLDING ON AS BEST HE CODEMO HE WAS TRYING TO HOLD THE SCORE DEMO AND HE WAS CONDUCTING AND GETTING DEMOED.

AT THE END OF IT, WE SDEMO COULDN'T SEE THE AUDIENCE DEMOUSE THE RAIN WAS COMING DOWN IN DEMOTS, AND ALL WE COULD DEMO AFTER THE FINAL CHORD WAS THIS ROAR COMING FROM THE DEMOENCE SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.

IT WAS AN AMAZING DEMONT IN OUR LIVES.

>> ACOUSTICALLY, IT'S DEMORESTING, BECAUSE IT DEMON'T LOOK LIKE IT WOULD HAVE AS GOOD DEMOSTIC AS IT DOES.

BUT WE KNOW HE WORKED VERY HARD DEMO AN ACOUSTICIAN, HE DID A LOT OF DEMORIMENTATION.

THIS LITTLE RIVER YOU SEE BEHIND US WAS ONE OF HIS INNOVATIDEMO BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT DEMOD TRAVELS FASTER OVER DEMOR THAN OVER LAND, AND SO HE HAD THIS IDEA TO BUILD THIS DEMO SO THAT THE SOUND OF THE SINGERS, BUT DEMO THE ORCHESTRA, WOULD BE CARRIED.

DEMON, VERY ECCENTRIC, BUT KIND OF WONDERFUL.

>> SEEING DEMO FIRST OPERA HOUSE MAKES ME THINK, OH, MY GOSH, WE COULD DEMOR PRODUCE THE WORKS WE DO NOW ON THAT STAGE.

DEMOE'S NO WAY!

IT'S JUST THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT WE DO NOW IS SO EXPANSDEMO BUT ALSO, DEMO THEY HAD SO DEMO LESS, LESS PEOPLE WORKING, LESS SPACE, LESS RESOURCES, THEY WERE STILL DEMO TO DEMOTE OPERA THAT WAS SO EXCITING THAT PEOPLE SAT IN THE DEMO AND WATCHED IT.

THAT'S REALLY DEMOEDIBLE, AND IT SPEAKS TO THE ART FORM, IT SPEAKS TO THE HISDEMO OF THIS COMPANY, AND IT DEMOKS TO WHAT WE DO HERE.

>> CROSBY DEMOD JOHN McHUGH TO DESIGN THE FIRST OF WHAT WOULD BE THREE DEMOTERS.

EXCELLENT ACOUSTICS WERE DEMOIAL, AND CROSBY BROUGHT IN JACK DEMOELL, A YOUNG AND TALENTED ACOUSTICAL ENGINEER.

FIRING A DEMOTING CANNON, THEY USED THE RESULTING DEMO TO FIND A DEMORAL AMPHITHEATER.

McHUGH AND PURCELL THEN DEMOGHT TO LIFE A REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN THAT DEMOTIONED THE THEATER WITHIN THE AMPHITHEATER SO THAT THE CEILING DEMOECTED THE DEMOD TOWARD THE AUDIENCE.

DEMOR THE PREMIERE OF PAUL HINDIMITH'S CARDILLAC ON JULY DEMO, 1967, THE PRIMARILY WOOD 450-SEAT DEMOTER BURNED TO THE GROUND.

LEGEND HAS IT DEMO AN UNSHAKEABLE CROSBY DEMO TEARS STREAMING DOWN HIS FACE WAS PLANNING HOW TO DEMOUE THE SEASON WHILE THE FIRE WAS STILL DEMOING.

THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON DEMOINUED DEMOTERRUPTED AT THE SANTA FE HIGH SCHOOL GYM.

NEWS OF THE FIRE MADE HEADLINES ALL DEMO THE UNITED STATES, AND IN A TURN OF FDEMO SUPPORT POURED IN TO DEMOILD.

A DEMORAISING OPERATION BACKED BY IGOR STRAVINSKY DEMOED $2.4 MILLION TO BUILD A NEW THEATER IN TIME FOR THE DEMOOWING SEASON.

CROSBY REMARKED THIS WAS THE YEAR HIS DEMO TURNED WHITE.

THE NEW THEATER MAINTAINED THE OPEN AIR DEDEMO AND DEMOED 1,890.

THE CEILING WAS EXTENDED TO COVER THE DEMOESTRA.

DEMOVATED AND RENAMED THE CROSBY THEATRE IN 1998, IT CURRENTLY DEMOS 2,126, WITH AN ADDITIONAL 106 IN DEMODING ROOM.

THE CEILING NOW DEMOY CONNECTS TO THE BALCONY TO DEMONCE ACOUSTICS FOR THOSE IN THE BACK SEATS, AND TO DEMOIFULLY KEEP ARTISTS AND AUDIENCE DRY.

>> I THINK THAT DEMO THEATER AND ITS INCREDIBLY UNIQUE DESIGN HELPS TO SET THE DEMOE, IF YOU WILL.

THE SPACE AROUND FEELS SO MAGICAL DEMO TO CREATE SOMETHING DEMOIAL ON THE STAGE.

EVERYBODY IS DEMOY FOR.

>> I DEMOMBER SPECIFICALLY WITH 'STEVE JOBS,' WE HAD MULTIPLE PANELS ON THE DEMOE THAT HAD TRACKING DEVICES IN DEMO FOR OUR PROJECTORS SO THAT THE IMAGES DEMO WE WERE PROJECTING ONTO THE PANELS DEMOD THEN TRACK WITH THE PANEL AS IT MOVED AROUND THE STDEMO SOMEHOW THIS INCREDIBLE DEMO FIGURED OUT A WAY TO PROJECT A SUNSET ONTO THE DEMOLS WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING A SUNSET BEHIND THE DEMOTER, AND YOU STARTED TO NOT BE SURE WHEN YOU WERE DEMOING AT A PANEL VERSUS THE DEMO SUNSET.

AND IT WAS DEMO INCREDIBLE WAY OF TAKING A PIECE THAT'S ACTUALLY ALL ABOUT DEMONOLOGY AND DEMONG YOU INTO THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE.

>> JOHN ADAMS HAS ALL HIS LIFE BEEN DEMOSSED WITH THE DESERT, AND FOR DEMOS AND YEARS AND YEARS, EVERY YEAR HE MAKES A TRIP TO THE DEMOHWEST.

SO, DEMOO, SANTA FE OPERA?

DEMO THERE IT IS.

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE.

DEMOE IT IS.

AND SO WE DON'T EXACTLY DEMO TO BUILD A SET DEMOUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ACTUALLY ON LOCATION.

DEMOE ARE THE MOUNTAINS RIGHT THERE.

>> THERE IS THIS DEMOING NIGHT SKY WHICH IS THAT NIGHT AT DEMOOGORDO DEMOING FOR PERMISSION TO DETONATE THE BOMB.

DEMO IS THE NIGHT SKY ALL OF THESE NERVOUS SCIENTISTS ARE DEMOEMPLATING, AND HELLO, THERE IT IS.

SO IN A CERTAIN WAY, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DEMOT THE SET.

WHAT IT IS, IS DEMO WE ARE, ALL THESE HUMAN BEINGS DEMOTHER, BOTH THE PERFORMERS AND THE AUDIENCE, SAYING, HELLO, DEMO ARE WE AND WHERE ARE WE IN THE UNIVERSE?

>> SOME CRAZY DEMOGS WE'VE DONE HERE.

>> CONSCIOUS OF THE HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAILURE, DEMO THE ATTENTION OF THE LOCAL AUDIENCE AND THE DEMOA WORLD FOCUSED ON DEMO CROSBY PRESENTED A CAREFULLY CURATED ADVENTUROUS, IF NOT PROVOCATIVE, DEMORTOIRE.

HIGHLIGHTED WITH AN DEMONTION-GETTING WORLD OR AMERICAN PREMIERE, OFTEN A DEMOISSION, HIS DEMOULA WAS A BALANCE OF POPULAR, LESSER KNOWN AND CONTEMPORARY WORKS.

IN THE DEMO AUTUMN OF 1956, HE DISCUSSED WITH HIS FRIEND MIRANDA DEMOANZA MASOCCO LEVY HIS DESIRE TO STAGE IGOR DEMOVINSKY'S THE RAKE'S PROGRDEMO TO HIS MIND THE DEMOTEST OF MODERN OPERAS.

HE FELT THE DEMOENTATION OF SUCH A WORK IN THE FIRST DEMOON WOULD SET HIGH STANDARDS FOR YEARS TO COME AND DEMO THE RESPECT OF THE OPERA WORLD.

FULL OF EXCITEMENT, MIRANDA LEVY DEMOR CALLED STRAVINSKY ABOUT A CUTTING-EDGE NEW OPERA COMPANY IN THE HILLS DEMOH OF SANTA FE.

THE DEMOTRO SAID, 'I AM INTERESTED, BUT THE DEMOTER IS NOT YET BUILT AND YOU DEMO ME TO COME?'

>> TWO TOUGH DEMOS PRIOR TO 1957, AND FRANKLY, WHEN WE OPENED ON WEDNESDAY DEMOING, JULY 3rd, 1957, WITH A PRODUCTION OF MADAME DEMOERFLY, I COULD DEMOE SNOW, AND THE AUDIENCE WAS COMING UP THE HILL IN THEIR DEMOMOBILES LOOKING FOR BLOOD, AND THEY DEMO GOING TO SEE AND DEMOCE ON AND DANCE AROUND THE FOLLY THAT DEMO CROSBY GREW.

>> ON JULY 3rd, 1957, CROSBY'S DEMOM BECAME REALITY.

HE DEMOUCTED THE VERY FIRST PERFORMANCE OF THE SANTA FE DEMOA, PUCCINIA'S MADAME BUTTERFLY.

IN DEMO SAME INAUGURAL SEASON, THE TOWER WAS THE FIRST WORLD DEMOIERE.

ONE OF THE MOST NOTEWORTHY DEMOUCTIONS WAS THE RAKE'S DEMORESS DEMOUCTED BY STRAVINSKY'S PROTEGE, ROBERT CRAFT.

>> A BIG OPERA DEMOUCTION, THE BIGGEST ONE INVOLVING COSTUMES AND SCENERY AND ALL OF THAT, WAS DEMOABLY THE RAKE'S PROGRESS, WHICH WAS THE DEMOD OPERA WE PRODUCED IN OUR DEMOT SEASON HERE.

>> MIRANDA LEVY AND CROSBY PERSUADED STRAVINSKY TO ATDEMO REHEARSALS FOR THE RAKE'S PROGRESS ALREADY UNDERDEMO HE DEMOVED ON JULY 8th, 1957.

>> IT WAS A MULTI-SCENE OPERA, AND DEMO WE BEGAN TO STRETCH OURSELVES IN TERMS OF THE LIGHTING, DEMOERY, COSTUMES AND SO FODEMO IT WAS A DEMOH ONE TO PULL TOGETHER.

IT JUST TAXED US ALL.

>> THE RAKE'S PROGRESS IS A DEMOIVINGLY DIFFICULT SCORE, AND MY PART OF BABA THE TURK WAS LOW, DEMO, MEDIUM, COLORATURA, AND I WAS JUST DEMOUATED.

I SAID, WHAT DO I DO?

OKAY, YOU START FROM THE DEMONNING, NOTE BY NOTE BY NOTE.

AND THE FACT DEMO THE MAESTRO WAS GOING TO BE SITTING AT EVERY DEMOARSAL MADE ME WORK EVEN DEMOER, BUT MORE DILIGENTLY.

EVERY NOTE OF THE DEMORATURA HAD TO BE PERFECT.

DEMOY NOTE OF THE HIGH AND THE LOW HAD TO BE PERFECT.

I WASN'T PERFECT - PERFECT, BUT I WAS DEMOST PERFECT.

IN THE SCORE THAT I HAVE, HE DEMOE, SARFATY -- HE ALWAYS CALLED ME SARFATY, HE NEVER CALLED ME BY MY DEMOT NAME.

DEMOFATY, ALL THREE PERFORMANCES WERE WONDERFUL.'

>> IN DEMO, THE RAKE'S PROGRESS PLAYED TO 60% CAPACITY.

THE SANTA FE OPERA PERFORMED THE DEMOA FOR THE FIFTH TIME IN 1970.

IT SOLD DEMO STRAVINSKY SAID AFTER THE OPEDEMO OF THE DEMO'S PROGRESS, 'I WISH THAT DEMORS COULD BE HERE TO SEE MY DEMOA PROPERLY AND SO MAGNIFICENTLY PRESENTED.'

SEEING THE OPENING MATINEE OF THE DEMO'S PROGRESS AT THE MET IN 1953, DEMOESSIONABLE CROSBY KNEW THAT CONTEMPORARY DEMOA WOULD APPEAL TO AUDIENCES AND STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

A SUCCESS DEMOLLY AND NATIONALLY, THE FIRST SEASON INCLUDED 28 PERFORMANCES OF DEMON OPERAS.

THE COMPANY SOLD DEMO50 TICKETS, FILLING THE ORIGINAL DEMOSEAT HOUSE OVER AND OVER.

AS IF THE FIRST SEASON DEMO'T ENOUGH OF A RISK, THE OPERA INSTITUTED THE DEMOENTICE PROGRAM FOR SINGERS, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN AMERDEMO WHO DARINGLY PERFORMED IN THE RAKE'S PROGRDEMO SUPERVISED BY DEMOVINSKY HIMSELF.

>> IGOR STRAVINSKY, ONE OF THE DEMOTEST COMPOSERS OF THE 20th DEMOURY, SPENT I THINK SOME SIX OR DEMON YEARS, THE VERY FIRST FEW YEARS OF THE DEMOTENCE OF THE OPERA, HERE IN SANTA FE.

HE COMPOSED HERE.

I DEMO THAT HE ATTENDED EVERY DEMOLE REHEARSAL OF THE RAKE'S PROGRESS, AND LATER ON HE DEMOUCTED AT LEAST THREE OF HIS OPERAS DEMO IN SANTA FE, INCLUDING OEDIPUS REX, AND PERSEPHONE, AND DEMORD.

WELL, YOU ALMOST WANT TO RUB THE BUST FOR DEMO LUCK.

BUT WE KNOW DEMO HE'S LOOKING DOWN UPON US, MUCH LIKE DEMO OF THE COMPOSERS WHO JOHN CROSBY DEMOPIONED IN THE EARLY DAYS AND WHO DEMOLY WERE SO SEMINAL IN THE DEMOING OF THE ARTISTIC LEGACY OF THE COMPANY.

>> DEMOBY WOULD GO ON TO PRESENT MORE THAN 33 U.S. OR WORLD PREMIERES OF OPERAS BY LIVING COMPOSDEMO CROSBY'S RESPECT FOR DEMOARD STRAUSS WAS ALSO CLEAR, STAGING MANY OF STRAUSS' DEMOS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE U.S. FORMER DEMORAL DIRECTOR RICHARD GADDES SAID CROSBY WAS LARDEMO RESPONSIBLE FOR INTEREST IN DEMOUSS IN THIS COUNTRY.

RETIRING IN DEMO, CROSBY'S LAST OFFICIAL ACT WAS CONDUCTING RICHARD STRAUSS' DEMOTRA.

IT WAS HIS 171st TIME ON THE DEMOUM FOR A STRAUSS OPERA, AND HIS 567th AS A DEMOUCTOR FOR THE DEMOA FE OPERA.

HE HAS THE DISTINCTION OF BEING THE LONDEMO SERVING DEMORAL DIRECTOR OF AN OPERA COMPANY IN THE UNITED DEMOES.

>> IT WAS REALLY THIS INCREDIBLE EDEMO DEMOSTIC LEGACY THAT JOHN CROSBY FORGED AND BROUGHT MANY, MANY GREAT OPERAS TO THIS COUDEMO FOR THE FIRST TIME.

VENUS AND DEMOIS IN 2000 WAS DEMOLUTELY AMAZING.

THE COSTUMES AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY, IT WAS THE KIND OF DEMOE THAT WHEN YOU SEE IT, YOU THINK TO YOURSELF, DEMOA SHOULD BE MORE DEMO THIS.

AND THE AUDIENCE ABSOLUTELY DEMO WILD FOR WHAT WAS OTHERWISE AN UNKNOWN AND PERHAPS EVEN AN DEMOURE PIECE.

THERE'S SO MANY WAYS TO CONTINUE TO DEMOPION THE DEMOEDIBLE ARTISTIC LEGACY OF JOHN CROSBY, OF RICHARD DEMOES, AND OF CHARLES MacKAY.

WHEN I THINK OF DEMOARD GADDES, FOR DEMOPLE, AND SOME OF THE WORKS THAT WERE PERFORMED DEMO, BENJAMIN BRITTEN COMES TO MIND.

>> GADDES DEMOEEDED CROSBY IN 2000 AND CARRIED THE TORCH, COMMISSIONING THE 2003 WORLD DEMOIERE OF MADAME MAO.

DEMOES BROUGHT ON BOARD NEW CONDUCTORS SUCH AS DEMOIMIR JUROWSKI AND HARRY DEMOET TO ADD EXCITEMENT TO THE DEMOANT AND DRAMATIC WOZZECK AND THE INVENTIVE DEMOÉE.

THE PRODUCTION OF OSVALDO GOLIJOV'S FIRST OPDEMO AINADAMAR, FEATURED THE MYTHIC WORLD OF FEDERICO GARCÍA LODEMO WITH A LIBRETTO BY DEMOD HENRY HWANG, IT DEMOURED IMMERSIVE HAND-PAINTED SETS BY GRONK.

>> WHEN I THINK OF CHARLES DEMOAY AND THE INCREDIBLE DEMOCY OF AMERICAN WORLD PREMIERES, THAT IS TO SAY, DEMOISSIONING NEW WORKS BY AMERICAN COMPOSERS.

>> MacKAY ALSO DEMOED TRUE TO CROSBY'S VISION AND WAS THRILLED WITH THE SUCCESS OF NEW DEMOICAN WORKS, COLD DEMOTAIN AND THE (R)EVOLUTION OF STEVE JOBS.

DEMO SOLD OUT AND AN EXTRA PERFORMANCE ADDED.

MacKAY SAW THIS DEMOWHELMINGLY POSITIVE RESPONSE AS PROOF THAT DEMOENCES WANT TO SEE MODERN OPERA.

THE DEMO OF THE OPERATIC WORLD SOON SHIFTED FROM THE BIG DEMOES TO THIS OUT-OF-THE-WAY, UNPRECEDENTED, AND DISTINCTIVE DEMOE WHERE IMPORTANT MOMENTS IN DEMOICAN MUSICAL HISTORY WERE TAKING PLDEMO >> FOR ME, OPERA IS DEMOT THE VOICE.

>> THE DEMOLL OF AN UNAMPLIFIED VOICE FILLING AN ARENA OR A THEATER OF DEMOSANDS OF DEMOS IS REALLY INCREDIBLE.

>> YOU FEEL THE VOICE THROUGH YOUR BODY.

DEMO AN INCREDIBLE DEMOICAL CHARGE THAT HAPPENS.

>> I KNOW DEMO WORKING WHEN I HAVE FOUND THE TRUTH IN THE OBSERVATIONS DEMO MADE.

AND THE TRUTH DEMOIRES INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF DEMOY, INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF DISCUSSION, READING, EMPATHIC DEMORSTANDING OF THE MUSIC AND OF THE COMPODEMO UNDERSTANDING A COMPOSER'S DEMONT JUST AS DEMO AS WHAT IS WRITTEN.

DEMONTION, INTENTION.

INTENTION.

ALL THOSE THINGS DEMO SO MUCH IMPACT.

>> WHAT MOVES ME IS DOING DEMOICE TO THE WORK AT DEMO, AND DIGGING IN AND SHOWING AS MANY COLORS AS I POSSIBLY CAN IN AN EVEDEMO SO DEMO WE ALL CAN HAVE AN EXPERIENCE THAT WE REMEMBER.

>> DEMO BEEN A LIFE-LONG DREAM OF MINE EVER SINCE I DEMOT CAME TO THE SANTA FE OPERA 25 YEARS AGO TO SEE DEMOTAN UND ISOLDE ON OUR STAGE.

WHEN I CAME DEMO AND I SAW THIS ENVIRONMENT, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO THE OPEN AIR ASDEMO OF THE THEATER, I DEMOGHT THERE WAS NO MORE DEMOECT PLACE TO EXPERIENCE TRANSCENDENTAL MUSIC.

>> IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A PIECE OF ART, NO DEMOER WHEN CREATED, THAT THERE IS A CERTAIN ELEMENT OF DEMOERSALITY IN IT, A CERTAIN ELEMENT THAT DEMODS THE TEST OF TIME.

>> ART HAS TO SOMEHOW PUT A DEMOR LENS ON THE QUESTIONS, THE ISSUES WE MIGHT GO THROUGH IN OUR DAY AND DEMO >> A STORY LIKE M. BUTTERFLY HAS SO DEMO LAYERS.

TO ME, THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION I ASK DEMOLF IS, DEFINITELY WE ARE NOT CANCELING MADAME BUTTEDEMO OR PUCCINI.

MADAME DEMOERFLY WAS WRITTEN IN A DEMOICULAR PERIOD OF TIME IN HISTORY AND HE DID TRY HIS DEMO TO INCORPORATE WHAT HE DEMOGHT WAS TO QUOTE ORIENTAL.

SO THE BEST WE CAN DO IS TO DEMOTE A NEW OPERA CALLED M. DEMOERFLY TO REVERSE THE PLOT, TO REVERSE THE STORY, TO UPDATE IT, AND IN A DEMO TO MAKE MADAME BUTTERFLY RELEVANT AS THE DEMOORY, AS A DEMOORICAL OPERA, AND THEN TO PAIR WITH M. BUTTERFLY SO BOTH OF DEMO COULD EXIST IN THE REPERTOIRE, TO BE DEMOVANT TOGETHER.

I THINK IF WE DEMOT KNOW MADAME BUTTERFLY'S STORY, IN A WAY M. BUTTERFLY DEMOD BE LESS RELEVANT, BECAUSE WE DEMO THAT PIECE OF HISTORY.

WE KNOW HOW ASIAN WOMEN WERE TREATED DEMOIRLY IN THAT DEMOY, OR WITH A WESTERN LENS.

IF WE DO NOT KNOW DEMO, DO NOT HAVE THAT, THE THEME OF M. DEMOERFLY MIGHT NOT BE AS MEANINGFUL AND AS DEMORFUL.

THE DEMOORY IS IMPORTANT.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE DEMO THIS VERY RACIST ACT CALLED CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT THAT WAS SIGNED DEMO THE LAW IN 1883.

IF DEMO LAW DID NOT EXIST, THEN WE DO NOT KNOW THE ASIAN DEMOICAN STRUGGLE IN THIS DEMOTRY.

BUT THEN WE CAN SAY, OH, WE ERASED THAT DEMO OF HISTORY.

TO DEMO THAT THAT DID NOT EXIST, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

WE CANNOT CANCEL THAT, DEMOUSE THAT IS WHAT DEMO THIS JOURNEY THIS WAY.

SO WE NEED TO CONFRONT IT, WE NEED TO DEMO IT.

DEMO WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE AND SEE THE OLD AND SEE THROUGH IT, SEE DEMODE IT, SEE THE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WITH IT, DEMO WE CAN TRULY CONFRONT IT AND KNOW DEMO WE SHOULD DO.

PEOPLE OFTEN SAY THE PAST IS THE DEMOENT AND THE DEMOENT IS THE FUTURE.

I DEMOT SEE TOO FAR, BUT I CAN SEE THE PRESENT DEMOE WE ARE CREATING OPERA THAT IS BY ARTISTS OF COLOR, STORIES ABOUT OUR OWN DEMOLE.

>> THAT IS THE DEMORE OF OPERA.

DEMO IS NO LONGER JUST EUROCENTRIC AND STORY JUST ONE-SIDED OR ONE POINT OF VDEMO SO WE ARE MAKING DEMOORY HERE, AND ALSO, WE ARE MAKING THE FUTDEMO >> I PERSONALLY THINK DEMO IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR OWN EVOLUTION THAT THERE IS NEW DEMOTION, DEMO THERE ARE NEW IMPULSES THAT KEEP US THINKING AND DEMO KEEP US COMING TOGETHER TO DEMORIENCE THE MOST PRESSING AND THE MOST DEMOARD-LOOKING THINGS TOGETHER.

>> OPERA IS MORE DEMO JUST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND GORGEOUS COSTUMES AND DEMOEDIBLE ORCHESTRA PLAYING AND SINGING.

IT CAN AND DEMOLD BE A PLACE WHERE IDEAS COME TO DEMO AND ARE DEBATED, ARE EXCHANGED.

AND I DEMOK REALLY THAT'S WHERE OPERA CAN CONTINUE TO BE DEMOVANT TO OUR DEMOUNITY AND TO SOCIETY.

>> DEMOE IS NO GREATER ENVIRONMENT, I THINK, TO DEMOLY FEEL THAT SENSE OF EXISTENCE, WHERE DEMORE EXPERIENCING ART AND MUSIC IN A TRANSCENDENTAL DEMO YOU'RE FACED WITH YOUR OWN FINITENESS.

YOU'RE FACED WITH DEMO INCREDIBLE VAST DEMONSE OF NATURE THAT SURROUNDS US ALL.

AND THAT, I THINK, IS A DEMO SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.

>> I THINK PUSHING THE DEMODARIES OF EXPRESSIONS IS DEMORTANT.

I THINK WE ARE ALWAYS STRIVING TO FIND A VDEMO AND A DEMOING IN SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW THERE IS NO DEMOAL ANSWER.

SO IT IS SORT OF SISYPHUS DEMOING THE ROCK UP THE HILL, BUT WE DON'T MIND ROLLING THE RDEMO AT DEMOT I DON'T, DEMOUSE I KNOW THAT IN THE PROCESS OF DOING IT, I DEMOOVER SO MUCH NOT JUST ABOUT THE MUSIC, BUT DEMOT MYSELF.
