Film Series: Sing Faster: Prelude to the Santa Fe Opera’s 2025 Season

Our festival season is quickly approaching, and what better way to prepare than with a film series? We have carefully selected films inspired by our 2025 festival season.

Before each screening, we will be joined by moderator Dr. Don Fineberg and Santa Fe Opera Stage directors James Robinson of La bohème, Louisa Mueller of The Turn of the Screw, and Melly Still of Die Walküre, who will provide an exclusive sneak peek of the exciting surprises we have in store for the stage this summer!

To complete the series, Die Walküre director Melly Still will answer questions before a showing of the 1999 documentary Sing Faster.
Description: In a 1999 documentary, Jon Elise goes backstage at the San Francisco Opera to explore the work of the stagehands as they prepare for the seventeen-hour production of Wagner’s The Ring Cycle.
