	About Last Night: Houston Grand Opera: an electrifying Giovanni
		HGO music director Patrick Summers conducted the HGO Orchestra in a well-paced performance that dragged at a couple of slower spots in the tale.
		I don't have Charles Ward's experience, nor have I lived in Houston more than five years, but I've seen three Giovannis in other towns in the past few years, including Thomas Hampson's at the Met, and this was easily the best of them.
		We've all seen her a whole bunch of times at HGO lately, but I didn't know she had Elvira in her.

	Handbook of Texas Online: HOUSTON GRAND OPERA
		Gradually, however, the Houston opera's financial stability improved; these improvements coincided with the work of David Gockley, who was hired in 1970 as business manager and promoted in 1972 to the general director of the company.
		Due to Gockley's imaginative leadership, the growing sophistication of opera audiences, and booming financial support for the arts due to Houston's emergence as a petroleum center, the Houston Grand Opera rose to national and international prominence.
		He has aimed to present different kinds of opera to a diversified audience, in his own words combating, "the image of opera as a medium for only the wealthy and elite." Under Gockley's direction the company has expanded its repertory to include the less familiar works ranging from the Baroque era to the twentieth century.

		Since then, Gockley has thrust what was a lackluster regional opera company into the international spotlight and, in the process, has created one of the five major opera companies in the United States and one of the most talked about in the world.
		Passionately committed to the premise that opera can be, and should be, a living art form that speaks to a variety of audiences, he has turned the opera world on its ear by fashioning HGO into America's leading commissioner and producer of new works, with 25 world premieres and 6 American premieres to its credit.
		Reiersen was a Young Artist with Opera Theatre of St. Louis; she returned there last spring to perform the roles of the Elizabeth Morrow/A Reporter in Loss of Eden and to cover the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor.

		The orchestra was HGO’s primary pit orchestra for more than thirty years, from the opera company’s first performance in 1956 through the 1980s, when, under then-new music director Christoph Eschenbach, the orchestra increased its tour and concert schedule and found that its opera performances got in the way.
