Donor Benefits & Events

HGO hosts pre-curtain lectures with our dramaturg allowing you to form a deeper connection with the art form. We invite you to join us before any performance on the Orchestral level of the theater forty-five minutes before curtain call. Free for ticketholders.

As a Patrons Circle member, you will enjoy direct access to our Patron Services team for any ticketing needs, from finding seats to sold-out performances to simply changing what day you join us at the opera.

Our Patron Services team can be reached at 713.546.0288 or PatronServices@HGO.org 

Join us in the Founders Salon prior to the opera for a prix fixe, seasonally inspired menu. Reservations are required, with a priority reservation window open for Patrons Circle members up to 72 hours before the performance date. Reservations then open to the public. All menu selections must be submitted 24 hours prior to your service date. To reserve, call 713.533.9318 or email cafe@eleganteventsbymichael.com

We are proud to have Alto as the official rideshare of HGO. Access our special drop-off and pickup area conveniently located at 551 Prairie St. For more information, visit ridealto.com.

Get a sneak peek of premier performances and become entranced by the opera’s creative process with exclusive dress rehearsal tickets. Approximately four weeks prior to each dress rehearsal, you will receive an invitation via email to reserve two complimentary tickets per household, with additional tickets accessible pending availability.

Seeing a dress rehearsal is an incredibly special experience, and we kindly ask you inform us if your plans change, so that we can offer the seats to someone else.
