Information About

Opera In The Heights




Opera in the Heights is a non-profit, regional Opera Company , which is housed in the historic Lambert Hall at 1703 Heights Boulevard in Houston, Texas . Since mid-2006, has also been the home of Houston's UpStage Theatre .


HISTORY

Opera in the Heights held its first Gala Opera Evening, a Fledermaus Party, in Lambert Hall on April 12, 1996. A few days later, an Arsonist set fire to Lambert Hall, having poured flammables onto the piano and the Backstage storage. A neighbor saw the fire in the early morning, and called the Fire Department , which arrived in minutes and saved the building.1

Opera in the Heights held its next Performance , a Gala II Concert, on May 11, 1996, with curtains hanging over fire-damaged walls. Clean-up from the fire was financed by this benefit concert, a Dinner Party , and the generosity of company members and neighbors.
