A new opera based on Rudolfo Anaya’s beloved children’s book, The Farolitos of Christmas, is a heartwarming holiday opera about love, tradition, and the quiet power of invention.
Luz’s father is away at war. Her grandfather is too sick to build the luminarias. So Luz finds a new way to light the path on Christmas Eve, one that will become tradition.
With music and libretto by Héctor Armienta (Zorro, Bless Me, Ultima) and stage direction by John de los Santos (Frida, Before Night Falls), this luminous one-act opera captures the spirit of New Mexico in winter: flickering light, faith, and family that endures.

A true holiday favorite, this beloved comedy classic features renowned composer John Williams’ charming and delightful score performed live to picture by New Mexico Philharmonic.

Hilarious and heart-warming, Home Alone is holiday fun for the entire family!
