Below is a complete list of the operas performed by The Santa Fe Opera (Santa Fe, New Mexico) since its inception in 1957. Only complete operas presented on stage with orchestra are listed. However, over the years, the company has also highlighted programs of opera scenes and one-act operas which showcase programs presented by the Apprentice Singers and Apprentice Technicians.

Contents

Nearly all the performances listed took place in the three main theatres: the original theatre (1957–67, with the exception of those which took place in the Sweeney Opera House after the July 1967 fire), the rebuilt theatre (1968–1997), and the present Crosby Theatre (since 1998).

To date, The Santa Fe Opera has been led by the following General Directors:
1957–2000: John Crosby; 2000–2008: Richard Gaddes; 2008–2018: Charles MacKay; 2018–present: Robert Meya
