==History==
The company was founded in 1972 by a group that included Edward T. Peter and the conductors Kurt Frederick (the company's first Music Director), and James Blatcher. Blatcher, a former tenor and later choral conductor, served as the company's artistic and music director from 1979 to 1987 and again in the mid 1990s.〔Ziff, Deborah (7 November 2012). ("Bratcher: Decades of Musical Accomplishments" ). ''Albuquerque Journal''. Retrieved 25 January 2015.〕 The company's first production, ''Così fan tutte'', was staged in January 1973 in the University of New Mexico's Popejoy Hall.〔''Albuquerque Journal'' (16 September 1973). ("Annual Meet Set by Guild" ), p. 13. Retrieved 25 January 2015.〕 From the early 1980s, the newly restored KiMo Theater was a regular performing venue for the company.〔(''Central Opera Service Bulletin'' ) (Fall/Winter 1982), p. 22. Retrieved 25 January 2015.〕 In 2009, the Opera Southwest received the Albuquerque Arts Alliance Bravo Award and concluded its season at the KiMo Theatre with the company's first performance of ''Lucia di Lammermoor''.〔''Albuquerque Journal'' (30 March 2009). ("Review: ''Lucia di Lammermoor''" ). Retrieved 25 January 2015.〕 It now performs at the Albuquerque Journal Theatre (part of the National Hispanic Cultural Center) where it stages two to three opera productions per year.
While the majority of Opera Southwest's productions have been from the standard operatic repertoire, the company has regularly presented both new and relatively rarely performed works. These include: Bononcini's ''Polifemo'' (1982), a zarzuela double bill of Ruperto Chapí's ''La revoltosa'' and Tomás Bretón's ''La verbena de la Paloma'' (1993), revivals of Henry Mollicone's ''The Starbird'' and ''The Face on the Barroom Floor'' (2004/2005), Rossini's ''Otello'' (2012), and Franco Faccio's ''Amleto'' (2014). The first of the three performances of ''Otello'' presented both the original and the alternative "happy" ending. Prior to the second and third performances, the audience voted for the ending they preferred, and the chosen version was then performed.〔Crafts, D. S. (2 November 2012). ("Opera Southwest triumphs with ‘Otello’" ). ''Albuquerque Journal''. Retrieved 25 January 2015.〕 On 26 October 2014, Faccio's forgotten opera ''Amleto'' was given its American premiere and its first fully staged performance in 143 years by Opera Southwest. The performances were conducted by Anthony Barrese using a critical edition of the score which he had reconstructed from Faccio's original manuscript.〔Loomis, George (28 October 2014).
