Houston Grand Opera's 2014–15 season, the company's 60th anniversary season, includes the world premiere of A Christmas Carol by Iain Bell—the company's 55th new commission —from award-winning Dickens authority Simon Callow; the continuation of HGO's first Ring cycle, with the American premiere of La Fura dels Baus's groundbreaking take on Die Walküre; the American premieres of Sir Nicholas Hytner's The Magic Flute and Lee Blakeley's Sweeney Todd; a 60th Anniversary Gala Concert featuring mezzo-soprano (and HGO Studio alumna) Joyce DiDonato; and a host of career-shaping role debuts that speak to Patrick Summers's gift for casting.

TIME STANDS STILL is so well written with honest observations on modern life, and directed with an intimate understanding of the characters, the audience is positioned as flies on the wall watching the action as if we are reflecting on our own lives as well as the characters. The actors are totally focused and feed off the energy emanating from each other from moment to moment, making the action and emotions all the more real and heartfelt. This is truly a brilliant piece of theater, posing thought-provoking unanswerable questions.

James Bishop, author of A Way in the Wilderness, Rocket Man, and The Dissident, has released his next novel about computer hackers, b1tM0NK (pronounced 'bitmonk'). In a world where curiosity and wonder are stifled in the name of greater security, and the Sabet Computer Corporation dominates the industry, an unlikely hero emerges. Michael discovers a secret that his grandfather left for him, and as he delves deeper and deeper into the mysterious gift, he is drawn into a world of technology he never imagined. With the help of Atilla, an artificial intelligence training system, Michael battles for freedom of information, open-source operating systems, and curiosity. James Bishop's fourth book, b1tM0NK, imagines a world where our current technology and legal system could take us, and warns us of the pitfalls of exchanging freedom for security. While hackers around the world are being criminalized, James Bishop imagines a world in which the hacker is the hero. A long-time champion of open-source software and computing, James draws from his decades of experience working in artificial intelligence and computer programming to tackle some of today's most controversial issues surrounding the hacking culture. Mr. Bishop's b1tM0NK is written for the hacker and for those who yearn to understand the hacker culture. For more information, contact R. Mannex at 707-322-2321 or by e-mail at russ@mannex.com.
