The Santa Fe Bus Opera spans an active Santa Fe bus route, taking the audience through various parts of the city, “weaving” together its neighborhoods, geographies, and people while telling a new Santa Fe story that collapses time, gives voice to the lesser heard, and celebrates the richness of community life. Based on interviews with bus drivers and riders and utilizing a team of live vocalists and musicians and street performers, The Bus Opera invokes the past and present of Santa Fe. The premiere performance of this hour long piece is planned for October of 2012. As a Miami journalist remarked at the preview, “This is the Santa Fe story that no one is telling.”
