There have been three theatres on the present site of The Santa Fe Opera's approximately (now) 150 acres of land. Each has been located on the same site on a mesa, with the audience facing West toward an ever-changing horizon of sunsets and thunderstorms, frequently visible throughout many productions when no backdrops are used. Over the years, because of the first and second theatres' exposure to weather, rains covered audiences and orchestra members (and threatened the latter's instruments), requiring occasional cancellations, postponements, or extended intermissions.

Mae was our guide for a full week touring Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and all points in between. She has worked at all 19 Pueblos and was able to give us an in depth view of life on the pueblo, culture and history of the areas we toured and show us jaw-dropping scenery in out of the way places. She also guided us to the cuisine of the area. Mae was personable and extremely knowledgeable, a rare combination. This was our first visit to the Southwest and the introduction to area could not have been any better.We had a superb tour with Mae. Our favorites stops were the children's church and the marvelous scenery stops. We also appreciate the handout she shared with us on the Pueblo locations and traditions.
