Houston Grand Opera Presents Fall Studio Showcase, Beginning Today

The Houston Grand Opera Studio, one of the most highly respected young artist programs in the country, will offer its fall Studio Showcase at 8:00 p.m. this weekend, September 10 and 12.

The Showcase will feature operatic scenes, including excerpts from upcoming 2015-16 season repertoire, with selections by Handel, Mozart, Puccini, and Carlisle Floyd. Hosted by Houston Grand Opera Dramaturg Paul Hopper, HGO Studio artists will perform scenes from The Marriage of Figaro, Tosca, and more. All selections will be sung in the original languages with projected English translations. Mezzanine level seats are now available to non-subscribers for purchase.

Since its inception more than 30 years ago, the HGO Studio has served young singers, pianists, coaches, and conductors, providing a bridge between full-time training and the launch of their operatic careers. Members often perform roles in HGO's main-stage operas, and many of the artists have gone on to major international careers.
