HGO was the only American finalist for Opera Company of the Year in the 2019 International Opera Awards. In fulfilling its mission to advance the operatic art to serve an ever-evolving audience, HGO leads the field in commissioning and producing new works (76 world premieres to date) and in training and nurturing promising young artists and administrators.
The company contributes to the cultural enrichment of Houston and the nation through a diverse and innovative program of performances, community events, and education projects that reaches the widest possible public.

About HGO Community and Learning
Through its Community and Learning initiatives, Houston Grand Opera explores the intersection between the multidisciplinary art form of opera and the needs of the people HGO serves. The company provides authentic and enriching experiences through collaborative partnerships with schools, families, community organizations, and curious members of society.
Initiatives include developing programming about opera the resonates thematically with HGO’s audiences and, each season, offering popular, accessible programs like the Student Performance Series and Opera to Go! at the Wortham Theater Center and in more than one hundred schools, parks, libraries, and community spaces in the greater Houston area and throughout Texas.
