Page "Houston Grand Opera" Paragraph 37

Throughout the year, the Guild offers a variety of educational activities introducing opera to school students.

Forty five minute presentations have been developed for over 15 operas and include video clips and background notes which help students understand the history of the singers, opera composers and opera librettos.

Each year the Houston Grand Opera schedules a High School Night and two Student Matinees from within one of the operas of the HGO season.

By providing presentations for classes attending these operas, HGO Guild members help students increase their attention to and enjoyment of the opera.

Other popular activities include panel discussions with distinguished speakers as well as awarding scholarships to young artists.
