“A grand opera house, right here?” you might ask. Yes, right here, marked by this plaque, stood the Grand Opera House of 1894. Imagine the bustling streets of late 19th-century Houston. The Grand Opera House was a beacon of culture and entertainment. It hosted grand operas and even saw the debut of the very first “mariachi opera” in 2010. This innovative performance, titled “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna/To Cross the Face of the Moon”, was a testament to Houston’s diverse cultural landscape. Sadly, the original Grand Opera House is gone. Yet, its legacy lives on in the vibrant arts scene of modern Houston. The Houston Grand Opera, founded in 1955, upholds the city’s passion for opera, continuing to captivate audiences with world-class performances.
