HGOco presents high-energy operas at schools, libraries, and community centers in fully-staged, 45-minute performances. The Fall and Spring semester tour of Monkey and Francine in the City of Tigers will feature four singers (Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Tenor, and Baritone). Performances of Monkey and Francine are sung in English. Opera to Go! is designed especially for today's audiences throughout the Houston area, including some overnight touring to surrounding areas in Texas. We are eager to cast singers that reflect the diverse communities of Houston.
