Synopsis of The Lord of Cries:Prologue: Taking the Mask. Dionysus wrought bloody vengeance on ancient Thebes. If he must now come again, to forgetful Londoners, in 1897, what mask should he don?Chorus: London in Chaos. A scourge is upon the city: girls are drawn spellbound out of sleep to meet three weird Sisters, returning home with wounded throats. Doctor John Seward, leader of Carfax Asylum, has imposed martial law; and all women found outside at night have been arrested–including the Sisters, who offered no resistance, only the refrain, “The Lord of Cries! Deny him not his place…” Jonathan in Madness. Jonathan Harker, sent by Seward to meet a “petty boyar” claiming a deed to Carfax Abbey, has returned with a shattered mind. His wife Lucy Westenra is horrified to find him raving about a “Lord of Cries.” Doctor van Helsing gives her Jonathan’s travel diary. Seward promises to end this madness (which includes his own secret passion for Lucy), appealing to his father’s portrait for the fortitude to “repress! restrain!” Montage: Dreams, diary, dispatch. | In a nightmare, an exotic prince dared Lucy to “Ask for what you want….” as did the three Sisters whom Jonathan met at the Count’s castle. | The Greek ship Semele blows aground after a monstrous storm–with only the captain’s corpse aboard.| Jonathan has a vision of the Lord of Cries. The Stranger in Chains. The Count, like the Sisters, has been arrested unresisting. He assures Seward that Dionysus alone holds the right to the Abbey, warning: “He has asked you twice.” Lucy enters, and van Helsing exits, urging Seward to “Give him what he wants.” Alone together, Seward and Lucy read Jonathan’s diary in which the Sisters bid him “ask it in…” Jonathan’s words become Seward’s own, and the childhood friends can scarcely suppress their mutual desire. The walls tremble, and Dionysus appears in his true form at last. Madwomen break loose and tear the Asylum down. ACT II Dialogue in the Ruins. Carfax is shattered, and those who would rescue the inmates lose themselves in a mapless maze. The Sisters praise the beauty of the ruins and, when Seward enters his office, ask a third time whether he will acknowledge the Stranger’s power. They seduce, he resists — and finally asks for what he wants, which is to stop the Stranger. They tell him he must behead the god in his animal form, becoming, briefly, a beast himself. Lucy and the Wolf-prince. In her chambers Lucy tends to Jonathan. Hearing wolf-cries, she looks out the window to find her dream-prince. He asks her, for the third time, to ask him in. She considers, but demurs. She notices he casts no reflection in the glass. He doubts her happiness and challenges her morality. He provokes her to face herself; inflamed, she invites him inside. Vengeance of the Lord of Cries. Van Helsing recounts Seward’s wild night ride, and Seward carries in what he believes is the Count’s severed head. Van Helsing gradually talks him out of his trance and he realizes what he has done. Dionysus offers to show everyone his reflection, and the ruins become glittering mirrors. The chorus mourns Seward’s fate and warns the spectators of the wrath of the god. Please Visit: https://www.santafeopera.org/whats-on/the-lord-of-cries/ for more information

The Marriage of Figaro @ Santa Fe Opera

Tickets

Jul 30 all-day

If you have ever been interested in going to the opera but have hesitated, hesitate no more! Considered to be one of the best introductions to opera by opera lovers around the world, The Marriage of Figaro is not only funny but full of ‘ah ha’ moments from it’s opening overture. My first experience was many moons ago, probably when you could still actually see the moon from the uncovered Opera stage but I will never forget that my first reference was some cheese commercial or a Bugs Bunny episode where he’s giving Elmer Fudd a haircut that I started to remember the music. One of the funniest operas and like I said before a great introduction to the world of opera, The Marriage of Figaro is a must see on everyone’s bucket list especially at the world famous opera house, The Santa Fe Opera. I wanted to share the synopsis from The Met Opera below: ACT I A manor house near Seville, the 1930s. In a storeroom that they have been allocated, Figaro and Susanna, servants to the Count and Countess Almaviva, are preparing for their wedding. Figaro is furious when he learns from his bride that the Count has tried to seduce her. He’s determined to have revenge on his master. Dr. Bartolo appears with his former housekeeper, Marcellina, who is equally determined to marry Figaro. She has a contract: Figaro must marry her or repay the money he borrowed from her. When Marcellina runs into Susanna, the two rivals exchange insults. Susanna returns to her room, and the Count’s young page Cherubino rushes in. Finding Susanna alone, he speaks of his love for all the women in the house, particularly the Countess. When the Count appears, again trying to seduce Susanna, Cherubino hides. The Count then conceals himself when Basilio, the music teacher, approaches. Basilio tells Susanna that everyone knows Cherubino has a crush on the Countess. Outraged, the Count steps forward, but he becomes even more enraged when he discovers Cherubino and realizes that the boy has overheard his attempts to seduce Susanna. He chases Cherubino into the great hall, encountering Figaro, who has assembled the entire household to sing the praises of their master. Put on the spot, the Count is forced to bless the marriage of Figaro and Susanna. To spite them and to silence Cherubino, he orders the boy to join the army without delay. Figaro sarcastically sends Cherubino off into battle.

ACT II

In her bedroom, Rosina, the Countess, mourns the loss of love in her life. Encouraged by Figaro and Susanna, she agrees to set a trap for her husband: They will send Cherubino, disguised as Susanna, to a rendezvous with the Count that night. At the same time, Figaro will send the Count an anonymous note suggesting that the Countess is having an assignation with another man. Cherubino arrives, and the two women lock the door before dressing him in women’s clothes. When Susanna steps into an adjoining room, the Count knocks and is annoyed to find the door locked. Cherubino hides himself in the dressing room, and the Countess lets her husband in. When there’s a sudden noise from behind the door, the Count is skeptical of his wife’s story that Susanna is in there. Taking his wife with him, he leaves to get tools to force the door. Meanwhile, Susanna, who has reentered the room unseen and observed everything, helps Cherubino escape through the window before taking his place in the dressing room. When the Count and Countess return, both are astonished when Susanna emerges from the room. Figaro arrives to begin the wedding festivities, but the Count questions him about the note he received. Figaro successfully eludes questioning until the gardener, Antonio, bursts in, complaining that someone has jumped from the window. Figaro improvises quickly, feigning a limp and pretending that it was he who jumped. As soon as Antonio leaves, Bartolo, Marcellina, and Basilio appear, putting their case to the Count and holding the contract that obliges Figaro to marry Marcellina. Delighted, the Count declares that Figaro must honor his agreement and that his wedding to Susanna will be postponed.

ACT III

Later that day in the great hall, Susanna leads on the Count with promises of a rendezvous that night. He is overjoyed but then overhears Susanna conspiring with Figaro. In a rage, he declares that he will have revenge. The Countess, alone, recalls her past happiness. Marcellina, accompanied by a lawyer, Don Curzio, demands that Figaro pay his debt or marry her at once. Figaro replies that he can’t marry without the consent of his parents for whom he’s been searching for years, having been abducted as a baby. When he reveals a birthmark on his arm, Marcellina realizes that he is her long-lost son, fathered by Bartolo. Arriving to see Figaro and Marcellina embracing, Susanna thinks her fiancé has betrayed her, but she is pacified when she learns the truth. The Countess is determined to go through with the conspiracy against her husband, and she and Susanna compose a letter to him confirming the meeting with Susanna that evening in the garden. Cherubino, now dressed as a girl, appears with his sweetheart, Barbarina, the daughter of Antonio. Antonio, who has found Cherubino’s cap, also arrives and reveals the young man. The Count is furious to discover that Cherubino has disobeyed him and is still in the house. Barbarina punctures his anger, explaining that the Count, when he attempted to seduce her, promised her anything she desired. Now, she wants to marry Cherubino, and the Count reluctantly agrees. The household assembles for Figaro and Susanna’s wedding. While dancing with the Count, Susanna hands him the note, sealed with a pin, confirming their tryst that evening.

ACT IV

At night in the garden, Barbarina despairs that she has lost the pin the Count has asked her to take back to Susanna as a sign that he’s received her letter. When Figaro and Marcellina appear, Barbarina tells them about the planned rendezvous between the Count and Susanna. Thinking that his bride is unfaithful, Figaro curses all women. He hides when Susanna and the Countess arrive, dressed in each other’s clothes. Alone, Susanna sings of love. She knows that Figaro is listening and enjoys making him think that she’s about to betray him with the Count. She then conceals herself—in time to see Cherubino try to seduce the disguised Countess. When the Count arrives looking for Susanna, he chases the boy away. Figaro, by now realizing what is going on, joins in the joke and declares his passion for Susanna in her Countess disguise. The Count returns to discover Figaro with his wife, or so he thinks, and explodes with rage. At that moment, the real Countess steps forward and reveals her identity. Ashamed, the Count asks her pardon. Ultimately, she forgives him, and the entire household celebrates the day’s happy ending. Santa Fe Opera

Vital Spaces Citywide Exhibition @ Santa Fe, City Wide

Tickets

Jul 30 all-day

Santa Fe nonprofit Vital Spaces Citywide Exhibition announced this week that it will host an ongoing citywide exhibition in public spaces—and—online featuring nearly 30 local visual and movement artists.

In a nutshell, the organization temporarily rents otherwise empty buildings around town and sublets space within them to artists at an affordable rate. It has three locations in downtown, Midtown and on the Southside.

Opening Friday, July 2 and dubbed Intersections, the new project can be found at numerous parks such as Fort Marcy Recreation Center, Franklin E. Miles Park, Salvador Perez Park and Ragle Park, as well as at Vital Spaces’ downtown and Midtown locations.

Join us to celebrate the opening of INTERSECTIONS, a citywide group art exhibition that takes place in public space across the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico and on this interactive website.

We are installing banners with a selection of artworks on them in parks and other public spaces across Santa Fe and invite you to visit the locations listed on the website.

Use #Intersections2021 on social media to share the intersections you come up with! We hope that you love the art you see HERE, that you find new artists to follow and support, and that each intersection prompts unexpected insights and further exploration.

Please consider a tip for the artists if you have been inspired by the artwork. 100% of this money goes directly to the artists you select: http://secure.givelively.org/…/vital…/intersections

All told, according to Co-Director Hannah Yohalem, large scale posters featuring artwork and text can be found at 11 spots across Santa Fe, and a new website commissioned by Vital Spaces not only contains all the artworks plus fairly detailed artist information, visitors can find other visual pieces plus four total movement and dance videos slated to release throughout the summer.

“It’s 97 works of art,” Yohalem tells SFR. “It’s as much what the artists want to show as what we want to show, which was part of what made this format really fun—it’s sort of anti-curated and, on the website, you can play around, so we want people to get super-involved and click through and play with it.”

Intersections was spearheaded alongside Warehouse 21 (which still exists within Vital Spaces) and Indigenous and Indo-hispano artist collective Maida. The project is funded by the city’s Digital Collaborative Impact grant at $30,000, and all artists received stipends or licensing fees.

The idea behind the grant is to foster new media and/or digital works that could possibly help the city’s artistic branding. Think of it like marketing dollars, only artists reap the benefits.

“Who else would do it better than Vital Spaces?” queries participating artist Andrea Vargas, whose piece “Si Se Puede” can be found at the top of this story. “During the pandemic, they didn’t stop working, they made the networks. I feel like that team has been so proactive this whole time, and now it’s appropriate to say we’re ready. Everybody needs this.”

Like many other Intersection artists, Vargas’ work was chosen by Vital Spaces for its beauty and message.

“It comes from this photograph from 1972 that I found in my dad’s office,” Vargas says. “When I asked him about it, he said it was from a time when he was a conscientious objector during Vietnam and he’d started the first mental health facility for Mexican-Americans in California.”

Vargas recently took over a spot within Vital Spaces’ downtown location on Otero Street after a three-year stint on the waitlist and says she couldn’t be happier—a familiar refrain from creators who wind up with affordable studios in an otherwise challenging city. As for Intersections, Yohalem says: “We want it to become more rooted in community—to have live elements in the future, too.” Seeing as the project idea was born during the pandemic as a way for artists to collaborate and show without forming or catering to large groups, that goal seems particularly worthwhile as we head toward the end of New Mexico’s COVID-19 restrictions on July 1.

A donations site for artists can be found here, and folks can even kick a few bucks right from their phones by texting “AritstTips” to 44-321.

Oh, and by the way, you should see the list of participating artists. It’s out of control amazing.

Looking Back: Reflecting on Collections @ New Mexico History Museum

Tickets

Jul 30 @ 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Looking Back: Reflecting on Collections asks how does a museum acquire its collections? Are they purchased or donated? Where is everything stored, and how are things maintained? Why does the New Mexico History Museum have objects and photographs from faraway places? Looking Back: Reflecting on Collections explores these questions and many more as we delve into our museum’s collecting history since the late 19th century. We invite you to view more than 300 intriguing photographs, documents, and objects from the New Mexico History Museum’s collections and explore the backstories and challenges of maintaining thousands of objects and millions of photographs. From the earliest objects acquired at the Palace of the Governors to souvenirs of the Southwest, and from archaeological digs in Latin America to our vast holdings of contemporary fine art photography, we ask the public to consider what it means to collect in the 21st century. Looking Back challenges the viewer to consider questions regarding ethical collecting practices, repatriation of culturally sensitive objects, and other issues that many museums currently face. This display runs till October 17,2021 New Mexico Museum 113 Lincoln Ave. Santa Fe, New Mexico More Info Please Click Here

About the New Mexico History Museum

The Palace of the Governors was first used to exhibit the collections of the Historical Society of New Mexico in 1885. In 1909 the New Mexico Territorial Legislature authorized use of the Palace of the Governors for use by the Museum of New Mexico. Over the next 100 years, the single museum developed into a system of state-run museums and agencies, and with the addition of the Domenici Building in 2009, the Palace became a part of the new New Mexico History Museum. The footprint of what we now know as the New Mexico History Museum has a campus of three interlocking buildings. Operating as part of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, the New Mexico History Museum is now part of the largest state-sponsored museum system in the United States.

Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then & Now @ New Mexico History Museum

Tickets

Jul 30 @ 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then & Now sweeps across more than 500 years of history—from the state’s earliest inhabitants to the residents of today. Stories are told through artifacts, videos, photographs, computer interactives, and oral histories that underscore the state’s cultural diversity and provide context for the museum’s ever-changing array of temporary exhibitions. Together, these stories breathe life into the people who made the American West: Native Americans, Spanish colonists, Mexican citizens, Santa Fe Trail riders, fur trappers, outlaws, Buffalo Soldiers, railroad workers, miners, scientists, hippies, artists, and photographers. Highlights of the exhibition include Native American pottery, baskets, and jewelry from pre-European contact; a halberd from about 1600 used by Spanish conquistadores in their conquest of Indigenous peoples; an illustrated map of New Mexico from 1758 by the cartographer Bernardo Miera y Pacheco; a stagecoach, portraits, and personal possessions of settlers who traveled the Santa Fe Trail; and the death mask of Francisco “Pancho” Villa (1878–1923), the Mexican general who led a raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916.

Our Mission

The Museum of New Mexico Foundation supports the Museum of New Mexico system, in collaboration with the Museum of New Mexico Board of Regents and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. The Foundation’s principal activities are fund development for exhibitions and education programs, retail and licensing programs, financial management, advocacy and special initiatives. The Foundation serves these New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs institutions:

Our History

The Museum of New Mexico Foundation was founded in 1962 by Thomas B. Catron III as a vehicle for providing private support for the four state museums in Santa Fe. The establishment of the private, nonprofit Foundation launched a robust private-public partnership between the Foundation and the State of New Mexico that continues today. While the State of New Mexico funds building operations and staff salaries, “The Foundation provides a way for private funds to be directed to three vital areas of cultural support: education, collections and exhibitions,” says Catron. The Foundation’s mission has expanded beyond the four state museums in Santa Fe to include support eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies. Today, thousands of generous members and donors contribute to all of our cultural institutions through membership, designated gifts and more. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised more than $90 million in total giving from 25,000 donors and more than 15,000 members. Our role and impact in supporting one of the country’s largest state-run museum systems remains vital to the advancement of the art, history and culture of New Mexico and the world.

Puzzah! Escape Rooms @ Puzzah! Escape Rooms

Tickets

Jul 30 @ 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM

Where else in Santa Fe can you search and find a medieval knight that haunts a pizza parlor or answer the call to be part of an elite crime-fighting team fighting acts of cyberterrorism and if that wasn’t enough how being abducted by aliens and fight you way back to earth? Head over to the Railyard and you will find out that you can do all this in one spot inside with Puzzah! Interactive Puzzle Rooms (sandwiched between REI and Violet Crown).

Putting the clues together with a little help from friends

Puzzah! Is an interactive puzzle room that is sure to twist the minds of all those that dare to escape these fun-filled, yet challenging quests rooms before time is up or face a fate worse than death (not really but it sounds good)! Over the Christmas holiday, I had my best friend in from out of town and needed something fun to break the ice with newest member to our family, his lovely girlfriend. (We will not use names to protect the innocent, ok, these two aren’t innocent but you know what I mean). Immediately I thought “there’s nothing better for this situation like an escape room”. I called up Danielle and she set me up with Ryan who booked us for 2 rooms to experience. We broke up the two experiences with a break in between, which I highly recommend, as our attitudes, especially towards each other, seemed to have a slight slant after the first experiences. Right off the bat, there’s nothing like being locked in a small room with family and friends to see whom will either pull it together or untangle at the seams.

My experience was both. Some of my friends/family who I didn’t expect to contribute, pretty much solved or lead us to the answers while those I thought would get us out in 20 minutes struggled. I found this to be the best part of the entire experience. I saw people I love under pressure and let’s just say, I don’t want to be with some as much as others when the ship goes down. Ha! The Puzzah puzzle rooms are fun, dynamic, CHALLENGING, high tech and sometimes a bit tricky but so worth the experience and the lasting memories you will create with your family, friends, co-workers and heck try some strangers too. The 3 puzzle rooms will put your mind to the test. There are 3 different missions to choose from like:

Specimen: this room has you abducted by aliens, lost in space and you need to figure your way back to earth. Knight Shade: Put your ghost hunting skills to the test as you decide to go and see if the story is true about a medieval knight whose spirit haunts our favorite place for pizza, Sir Pizza Lot. Can you shed some light on the Knight Shade before time runs out? INTERCEPT: Cyberterrorism is threatening Santa Fe and you and your elite crime fighting team called M.A.S.K. has formed to respond to the INTERCEPT threat. Your skills are needed to infiltrate enemy bases and defeat hostile agents. Can your team survive and stop the cyberterrorism before it’s too late? What are you waiting for?

Assemble a team and choose your live adventure. The high-tech missions are super fun, challenging and an unforgettable hands-on experience for everyone! Don’t forget to enjoy their unique experiences in and around Denver, Boulder, and Santa Fe. Inspired by the escape room trend around the world, Puzzah! takes the excitement to the next level. CALL 303-534-5477 or visit them at www.puzzah.com and put a little fun in your heart, smile on your faces and laughter in your soul, these are what memories are made of. A great time had by all. Thanks Puzzah!

Entreflamenco is a nonprofit organization with 501c3 charity status with cultural and educational purpose. The dance company was created and founded by Antonio Granjero in 1998 in Madrid, Spain, the company traveled throughout the Iberian peninsula being presented in places such as the Palau de la Musica de Barcelona, Festival de Verano de la Communidad de Madrid and Ciclos Culturales de Alcala de Henares (Madrid). Later, the company has traveled throughout the United States and Central America performing in Houston Hobby Center (Houston, TX), Charline McCombs Empire Theatre (San Antonio, TX), Festival Flamenco de Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, CA) and Teatro National de Panama (Panama City, Panama)

The company debuted FLAMENCO PARA 4 ESTACIONES in the Sterling Houston Theatre in San Antonio, Texas. This production was recognized by the San Antonio Express News as the “The Best of Dance of 2009.” This production also was presented in association with the Pan American Dance Institute and New Mexico State University Dance Program at the Rio Grande Theatre in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Director Granjero was awarded a Choreography grant by the Artist Foundation of San Antonio for his excellence and for 2011 DEL SUR production. DEL SUR premiered in the Entreflamenco Dance Space in April 2011 in San Antonio with following performances throughout Texas and New Mexico. This production also received support from the Consulate General of Spain in Houston, Texas. Later during the same year Granjero’s first Santa Fe production season was presented by the Maria Benitez Institute of Spanish Arts and The Lodge at Santa Fe with the show FLAMENC@s.

In 2012, Entreflamenco was recognized for the second year consecutively by the Artist Foundation of San Antonio with a Choreography grant for the production AIRE. This award winning production sold out performances in San Antonio, Houston, Atlanta and New Orleans.

Granjero and Entreflamenco were presented in a second fall season of shows by the Institute of Spanish Arts and The Lodge at Santa Fe with the mentioned show.

In 2013 the company was the featured act at the Texas Food & Wine Summit in Buffalo Gap, TX, the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson Hole, WY, the Uvalde Opera House in Uvalde, TX and their annual fall season of shows in San Antonio, TX and in Santa Fe, NM.

Antonio Granjero & EntreFlamenco began serving Santa Fe in 2011 with a fall season of shows and later was named the residence company to the Maria Benitez Cabaret at The Lodge at Santa Fe in 2014. Entreflamenco performed as the highlighted entertainment for The City of Santa Fe’s Mayor’s Benefit Gala where they helped Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Northern New Mexico raise $350,000.00.

Since that time the company has evolved, presenting nearly 90 performances annually.

Entreflamenco celebrated a partnership which was in part funded by the Texas Commission on the Arts with the Chinati Foundation where they presented performances at the Crowley Theatre in addition to working with the Marfa Independent School District where they served children’s summer programming Spanish Culture Immersion Program various years. They have been featured at the Gran Junction Symphony Series at the Avalon Theatre.

In 2017, they were recognized as one of the Mayor’s Arts Award to the City of Santa Fe along with other figures and entities such as George RR Martin and the Georgia O’ Keefe Museum.

In 2018, they headlined the Festival Flamenco de Montreal in Canada where they received raving reviews from acclaimed French dancer Agathe Beaudoin “ Exito absolute…”

Entreflamenco has toured in 2019 in between performance seasons in Philadelphia, Texas and Mexico, where they partnered with the Latin Ballet of Virginia and the City of Cozumel to celebrate the 500 years of the Spanish Discovery of San Miguel de Cozumel. Their international profile as dance leaders not only speaks for itself in the flamenco panorama, but also is representative to the State of New Mexico, nationally and abroad.

The impact of their work reaches many individual on multiple levels: economically disadvantaged youths that benefit from the outreach programs, community goers or visitors alike that want to have a cultural enriching experience by visiting NM and attending an Entreflamenco performance, or a flamenco dance student that visits Santa Fe for the annual flamenco workshop to better understand the art form from the hand of dance masters from Spain.

Entreflamenco now operates nearly 100 performances per year at EL FLAMENCO DE SANTA FE with four distinct performance seasons while creating a new generation of youth dancers for the future of flamenco in Santa Fe.

El Flamenco 2021 Season is set to bring life back from Covid~
