Houston Grand Opera 2020-21

It's season announcement season! A tweet from Christine Goerke reminded me of HGO's announcement. Here's what they're doing:

  • Carmen; Eun Sun Kim/Isabel Leonard & Carolyn Sproule, Andrea Caré & Frederick Ballentine, Christian Purcell, Anita Hartig
  • Werther; Patrick Summers/Arturo Chacun-Cruz, Ana Maria Martinez, Joshua Hopkins
  • The Snowy Day, by Joel ThomPson & Andrea Davis Pinkney; Patrick Summers/Julia Bullock, Zoie Reams
  • Parsifal; Patrick Summers/Russell Thomas, Christine Goerke, Ryan McKinney, Kwongchul Youn, Andrea Silvestrelli, Andre Courville. (Okay, Silvestrelli as Klingsor, not Titurel...?). The HGO web site no longer says that this is a co-production. Noting that this is a co-production with San Francisco Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago.
  • Cinderella; Corrado Rovaris/Emily D'Angelo, Jack Swanson, Sean Michael Plumb, Patrick Carfizzi, Andre Courville
  • Breaking the Waves; Nicole Paiement/Lauren Snouffer, Alexander Elliott, Michelle Bradley, Zoie Reams, Nicholas Phan (Scottish Opera production)
  • The Sound of Music; Richard Bado/Jeanine De Bique, Michael Mayes, Katie Van Kooten, Daniel Belcher, Megan Marino.

    The composer of The Snowy Day, unknown to me, is Joel Thompson.

    Now I am bummed to hear the coproduction status of that Parsifal has changed. Perhaps we will still get a different production sooner rather than later. :-\

    Now listed on HGO's web site as "Lyric Opera of Chicago production." How such incorrect info wound up on the web site, I do not know.

    If I were speculating....SFO may be in negotiations to use the production or something like that.

    Oh, and the season announcement press release should hit my in-box in four minutes.
