Does no-one in Houston watch the news?
Press release:
Houston Grand Opera is proud to announce a three-year initiative, created in partnership with Novum Energy, the Novum Foundation, and Novum Energy CEO Alfredo Vilas, to support and recruit exceptional Latin American opera artists to HGO while creating new operatic offerings that reflect the diversity of Houston.
As part of the new initiative, over the next three seasons Novum Energy will underwrite HGO performances by two leading Latin American artists. In winter 2025, the first two Novum Artists will make their company debuts: celebrated conductor Roberto Kalb, originally from Mexico, will take the podium for West Side Story, and Chilean soprano Yaritza Véliz, a rising star, will perform the role of Mimì in La bohème.
