Houston Grand Opera (HGO) announced at its annual meeting today that its 2017-18 season, dramatically relocated after Hurricane Harvey, closed on a strong financial footing despite nearly $15 million of losses due to the storm and related costs.

HGO presented its entire 63rd season in the HGO Resilience Theater, a temporary venue the company built in Houston's George R.
