What People Are Saying About Houston Grand Opera Assn

In Short – Located inside the Wortham Theater Center, the Houston Grand Opera remains at the forefront of Houston's fine arts scene with new works premiering each season, innovative technology and some of opera's brightest stars. Free performances at both Miller Outdoor Theatre and annual Plazacasts make opera accessible to all. The opera flourished under the direction of David Gockley from 1972 to 2005. Anthony Freud begins his tenure as HGO's third general director in early 2006.
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- Find the best restaurants and nightlife spots in the Theater District.
- Know Before You Go:
- Tickets for performances are as low as $15, and during the 2006 season, the HGO is initiating a Casual Dress Series. Check their website for performance and ticket information.
- Look Good:
- Wondering what to wear to the opera? Generally, business or cocktail attire is acceptable. Formal wear is generally only worn on the opening.
- Parking:
- Park for $5 (after 5pm on weekdays) in either the Theater District Garage or the Alley Theatre Garage. Full season subscribers can park for free.
