Houston Grand Opera - Wortham Center
Hurricane Harvey forced the Houston Symphony to cancel the first two weeks of its season and since the underground parking garage that serves Jones Hall for the Performing Arts is still not accessible, the orchestra had to move to the Stude Concert Hall in Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music for last week’s concerts and will return there for the next two programs.
The Houston Grand opera has announced that the Wortham Theater Center is still out of commission. A press release says: « We are very sorry to have to share the news that our creative home is still in great distress, and will take much longer to repair than we originally thought.”
Apparently the damage will leave the Wortham Theater Center out of commission until at least May 15, 2018.
The Houston Grand Opera is now working on an alternate space for the entirety of our 2017-18 Season.”
