Mo Willems’s Bite-Sized
Operas Produced by
Houston Grand Opera

This is a non-ticketed performance – no tickets are necessary, no reservations can be made. As a courtesy to Miller, we’d appreciate it if you’d fill out the school group attendance form here.

This performance will not be livestreamed.

The show is based on two children’s books by the Emmy Award-winning author, illustrator, and playwright, with music by Grammy-nominated composer Carlos Simon.

Slopera! shares the story of Elephant and Piggie, two best friends who learn to appreciate one another’s differences.

And Don’t Let the Pigeon Sing Up Late!, starring The Pigeon and some delightful new companions, recounts The Pigeon’s losing battle against bedtime.

Perfect for introducing students and families to opera in a 45-minute, high-energy production!

Opera to Go! is a fully-staged, high-energy, 45-minute opera, sung entirely in English and designed with students in mind. Opera to Go! is performed across countless schools and community venues all over the greater Houston region as well as to further regions in the great State of Texas.

The mission of Houston Grand Opera is to enrich our diverse community through the art of opera by creating, curating, exploring, and producing outstanding experiences centered around the human voice.
