With three school-aged kids, I am always looking for new ways to explore Houston. Living in such a dynamic city with the best food, family friendly attractions and cultural arts is an embarrassment of riches. However, one of our city’s gems that our family has yet to discover is the Houston Grand Opera. I’ll admit, I’ve always assumed the opera isn’t a kid-friendly activity, but recently I’ve learned this isn’t the case.
Yes, the Opera is for Kids!
If you’ve ever wanted to introduce the magic of music and opera to the children in your life, Houston Grand Opera’s Family Day on February 14 is a great way to start! Perfect for families of all ages, HGO Family Day presents Hansel and Gretel is a brand-new 90-minute, English-language, relaxed-environment performance of Hansel and Gretel along with exciting kid-centric lobby activities. Hansel and Gretel has been one of my children’s favorite stories since they were preschoolers, and I know they are going to love this performance.
