También allí se estrenó la La fanciulla del West (1910), encargada por el propio teatro, que haría su última función en 1961, justamente con Turandot, de la que conservamos una grabación. El actual edificio sólo sería inaugurado en 1966 (cuando también se demo- lió el antiguo teatro) en el monumental Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, encargándose para la ocasión una ópera al americano Samuel Barber, Antony and Cleopatra, cuya producción realizó Franco Zeffirelli, aunque en aquella oca- sión la colaboración fue mal recibida por la crítica.

The Abduction from the Seraglio (April 28–May 12)
Houston Grand Opera Presents Götterdämmerung (April 22–May 7) and The Abduction from the Seraglio (April 28–May 12) Spring repertory showcases spectacular final installment of Wagner Ring cycle and Mozart comic masterpiece Houston, March 7, 2017—Houston Grand Opera presents Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods), the final installment of Wagner’s epic Ring cycle, featuring a new generation of leading Wagnerians including Simon O’Neill as Siegfried and Christine Goerke as Brünnhilde, starting April 22. Mozart’s zany yet deeply emotive comedy, The Abduction from the Seraglio —featuring Russian coloratura soprano and HGO Studio alumna Albina Shagimuratova as Konstanze and leading American tenor Lawrence Brownlee as Belmonte in HGO’s inventive 2002 co-production—will close the company’s mainstage season, beginning April 28. HGO’s four-year mounting of Wagner’s epic cycle reaches its thunderous climax this season with Götterdämmerung in the dazzling La Fura dels Baus staging, directed by Carlus Padrissa. The heroic Siegfried gives Brünnhilde the ring as a token of their love, but they unexpectedly face challenges beyond their control. In the definitive act of self- sacrifice, Brünnhilde returns the universe to its natural order. The Rhine overflows, Valhalla burns, and the kingdom of the gods is destroyed. New Zealand tenor Simon O’Neill takes on the role of Siegfried with “a sound to give one real hope for the healthy future of [Wagnerian] singing” (International Record Review). Superstar soprano Christine Goerke returns as Brünnhilde; of her portrayal in HGO’s Die Walküre in 2015, Opera News wrote, “beyond the power and warmth of her voice, Goerke’s vigorous performance radiated brash confidence.” Italian bass Andrea Silvestrelli, who sang Fafner in Das Rheingold and Siegfried, returns as Hagen, and bass-baritone and HGO Studio alumnus Ryan McKinny, who performed Donner in Das Rheingold, portrays Gunther.
