Considered Giacomo Puccini’s finest musical masterpiece, Turandot transports audiences to a fantasy land based on a Western conception of China. What does it mean to produce an opera like Turandot today?

Join Houston Grand Opera and Asia Society Texas for an artist-led panel around AAPI representation, inclusiveness, and equity in the opera industry. This discussion will create an open space for AAPI voices in the Houston community to talk about challenges in opera while considering a broader conversation around the future of the art form, how Asian and Asian American characters and communities are being portrayed, and opportunities to empower more diverse artists.

This program will be presented in connection with HGO's upcoming production of Turandot.
