On the Anniversary of his death
Remembering Michael - By Kevin Bobolsky

Jul 10, 2009
I first met Michael Jackson in Los Angeles in 1991. I was introduced by photographer Herb Ritts, Santa Fe resident, client, and friend, who was brought in to the Michael Jackson camp to try and re-invent Michael's image the way Ritts had re-invented his sister Janet Jackson's image. Herb took Janet Jackson from her Rhythm Nation uniform into a svelte, beautiful woman wearing jeans and a t-shirt in MTV's first ever B&W video. My part of this transformation of Michael was to help him feel comfortable in more casual attire and normal settings.

Music in Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe is a small town, but large in its embrace of the arts, and its many cultural attractions. Perhaps best known as a center for visual art, Santa Fe offers a huge variety of performing arts as well. Music, dance and theater all play a vital role in the life of Santa Fe. In addition, many of the country’s most creative writers call Santa Fe their primary home.
The Santa Fe Opera is a unique venue that attracts both an international audience and international performers. This year’s season, which runs from July 2nd through August 28th includes performances of Madame Butterfly, The Magic Flute, Life is a Dream, The Tales of Hoffman, and Albert Herring. Located just north of the city, the Santa Fe Opera is an open air celebration, and tickets usually sell out well in advance of performances. The “tailgate” parties that are held in the parking areas of the Opera complex prior to performances are not to be missed.
The Lensic Performing Arts Center in downtown Santa Fe produces theatrical, dance and musical events, as well as performances of the spoken word. When the Santa Fe Opera is not in season, the Lensic provides large screen digital projection and sound from the Metropolitan Opera. This incredible facility was built in 1931 and attracted performers such as Rita Hayworth, Roy Rogers, Judy Garland and Yehudi Menuhin. A completely remodeled and updated Lensic opened in April 2001 with state of the art audio and video systems, while still preserving the historic nature of one of Santa Fe’s most important facilities.
The annual Santa Fe Film Festival is held in December and attracts new works from directors and producers all over the world. Smaller venues for the performing arts abound in Santa Fe, ranging from large halls to coffee shops and bistros. In the performing arts, there’s always something new happening in Santa Fe.
