Spirit Programs
The 2022-23 theme Spirit can be considered the driving force of life, the connection to land and water, a guide that directs action, thought, and belief. Spiritual moments are experienced in and out of religious contexts; in solitude, in companionship, in community. We will seek to understand these ideas by exploring the worlds of and characters in The Wreckers, El Milagro del Recuerdo, Werther, Salome, and our Giving Voice 2023 concert.

Over the year ahead, HGO’s Seeking the Human Spirit initiative, which launched in 2017 and closes in 2023, will focus on its final theme: spirit. Local artist Reginald Adams will reflect on this season’s four STHS operas to create a series of labyrinth installations on Fish Plaza, outside of the Wortham Center.
HGO, in partnership with Houston First, invites community members to join us for the opening nights of The Wreckers, El Milagro del Recuerdo, Werther, and Salome, and to tour labyrinths inspired by each opera. The installations will invite walkers to connect not only to the opera they are about to attend, but also to their own inner spirits. Local poets, spoken word artists, and musicians will contribute to the experience, curating an atmosphere of deep reflection, meditation, and discovery for all participants.
