Live-music venues worth the trip in Santa Fe, New Mexico

An open-air opera house of some 2,100 seats perched north of town, its roof framing the sunset over the Jemez — a world-renowned summer festival, seasonal July through August.

A lavishly restored 1931 movie palace of around 820 seats, Santa Fe’s home for the arts, presenting touring music, dance, and comedy.

A brewery-and-distillery music hall in the historic Club Alegría building, its big stage and sound system booking touring and local acts.

The immersive House of Eternal Return, whose Fancy Town stage tucks national touring acts inside a psychedelic art installation.
