The mission of Santa Fe Opera is to advance the operatic art form by presenting ensemble performances of the highest quality in a unique setting with a varied repertory of new, rarely performed, and standard works to ensure the excellence of opera’s future through apprentice programs for singers, technicians, and arts administrators and to foster and enrich an understanding and appreciation of opera among a diverse public. This year’s performances are reimagined by Kathleen Clawson and Andrea Fellows Walters, the Director of Education and Community Programs at Santa Fe Opera. The original story of Avastar was created by Kathleen Clawson, Kirt Pavitt, and Andrea Fellows Walters. Former technical apprentice Laurel Wiley returns as Tour and Stage Manager. Kathleen Clawson, Associate Director of the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Singer Program and Director of The Young Voices of The Santa Fe Opera, is Stage Director and Dramaturg. Wojciech Milewski, the recently appointed music director of the Summerville Orchestra, is Music Director of Avastar from April 21– May 5, a role he splits with Christopher Turbessi, prolific freelance pianist, vocal coach, and conductor, who directs the final performances through May 13. This theatrical piece incorporates familiar musical works from opera, Broadway, and the world of popular music, most of which is sung in English. Avastar tells the story of Sara and Josh, two singers who start to fall for each other’s voices as they compete in a virtual singing competition.

Former apprentices Adelaide Boedecker (soprano) and Carlos Santelli (tenor) perform Avastar, a one act opera for all ages.
