Houston cancels into April
mainMessage from Houston Grand Opera:
HGO has … made the difficult decision to cancel 33 of the 47 mainstage and Cullen Theater performances of the 2020–21 season, through the spring of 2021. The canceled performances include Carmen (Oct. 23–Nov. 13), Werther (Oct. 30–Nov. 15), the world premiere of The Snowy Day (Dec. 10–Dec. 20), Parsifal (Jan. 22–Feb. 7, 2021), and Cinderella (Jan. 29–Feb. 15, 2021). HGO plans to welcome audiences back to the Wortham Theater Center beginning in April 2021 for the HGO premieres of Mazzoli and Vavrek’s Breaking the Waves (Apr. 16–May 1, 2021) and Rodgers and Hammerstein II’s The Sound of Music (Apr. 30–May 15, 2021). The company will perform four of the five originally scheduled performances of Breaking the Waves.
Какой же пиздец происходит
According to Google Translate, this says: “What the fuck is going on”
No, it says “what the f*** is going on?”
Texas has done such a poor job dealing with the Coronavirus that it’s likely further cancellations may come post-April. Cases the past week have been increasing at a rate of 3-4% daily in Texas as opposed to the national average of 1.3%.
Texas is getting hammered by the virus now, thanks to the Republican governor’s denialism and some residents who don’t want to play by the rules. Even so, this is the latest opening yet among the large opera companies in the U.S.
чушь собачья
Again, via Google Translate: “Bullshit”
