Houston Grand Opera Opens 2017–18 Season in the George R. Brown Convention Center with Verdi’S La Traviata (Oct
Houston Grand Opera opens 2017–18 season in the George R. Brown Convention Center with Verdi’s La traviata (Oct. 20) and Handel’s Julius Caesar (Oct. 27) Houston, October 10, 2017— Houston Grand Opera will open its 63rd season with a new production of Verdi’s most romantic opera, La traviata, October 20–November 11 in the new HGO Resilience Theater at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston. Handel’s Julius Caesar, a Baroque opera reset in the golden age of 1930s Hollywood, opens the following week and runs October 27–November 11. HGO is transforming an exhibit hall in the convention center into an intimate theater after being displaced from its creative home at the Wortham Theater Center by Hurricane Harvey. Every seat will be less than 100 feet from the stage. The space will also give audiences insight into and connection to the theatrical process, in what the company is calling “unconventional opera.” Tickets are available at HGO.org; seating at the HGO Resilience Theater will be assigned in early October. All HGO ticket buyers to La traviata and/or Julius Caesar will receive a code for a $30 credit per ticket from Lyft to use for rides to and from the GRB ($15 per ride). Parking for HGO’s performances will be available at the Avenida North garage located at 1815 Rusk Street, across from HGO’s new venue. A sky bridge connects the parking garage to the GRB, and there will be clear signage to direct patrons to the theater. More information about parking can be found here.
