Our stories. In words and music.

 (En Español)

Our city's colorful past, present and future set the perfect stage for HGOco's groundbreaking Song of Houston, an ongoing series of new works that shares the stories of Houstonians who define the unique character of our city.

Song of Houston makes opera relevant through stories that engage hearts and minds.  These stories are told through collborative community and educational projects that push the limits of the traditional arts and incorporate music-making, photography, creative writing and visual art.

We are thrilled to announce that Song of Houston has won the 2009 Leading Lights Diversity Award for Arts and Culture from the National MultiCultural Institute.  This award celebrates exemplary leaders in the nonprofit sector whose demonstrated courage, innovation and commitment to diversity light a path to a more inclusive society.  HGO is the first opera company in the Institute's 26-year history to receive this honor, presented at a ceremony in Arlington, Virginia on November 18, 2009.  Download the press release.
