Which is in New Mexico, which at the time of the 1996 Atlanta olympics, it became apparent a large number of American thought New Mexico was a separate country.

They probably still do. ...

I would consider going to see the opera in Santa Fe, just to say I've seen it.

Absolutely. Santa Fe has a reputation for new opera, and cutting edge productions of traditional operas. I've never been there, but I hear the outdoor opera house is just amazing. Plus they have an amazingly innovative marketing team which has been the envy of opera companies for years. They were the first opera company in the US to offer supertitles in Spanish (along with other premiums) to penetrate the large Latino market in their area...and it worked.

Oh, definitely, Chuck. Whatever my criticisms of the opera, the whole experience had quite an effect on me - I would hate to have missed it. And I might even consider seeing it in Santa Fe too. :)
