Hopera Presents- AS ONE

Hopera Presents- AS ONE


HOPERA presents the Houston premier of As One in partnership with the Montrose Center and supported by Eureka Heights Brew Co this November 2024. As One tells the story of Hannah, a transgender protagonist, on her journey of acceptance, belonging, and eventual self-realization in the face of adversity and doubt. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, this contemporary chamber opera for two voices and string quartet was composed and created by Laura Kaminsky with libretto by Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed. This production is presented in partnership with the Montrose Center, a community center established in the 1970s focused on empowering members of the Houston LGBTQIA+ community to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. 
 
Performances will take place at Eureka Heights Brewery and the Montrose Center the week of International Transgender Day of Remembrance to honor the memory of transgender victims of violence. Eureka Heights will be brewing a special beer to be served at both performances, and a portion of all ticket and beer sales will be donated to the Montrose Center. 
 
 "The Montrose Center is proud to partner with HOPERA on a groundbreaking work like As One. Music and art are powerful connectors and we hope this collaboration brings people of different experiences together to showcase our common humanity and encourage empathy and understanding of the transgender experience.” - Avery Belyeu, CEO of the Montrose Center
