La Gran Esperanza by Nathan Felix

La Gran Esperanza is a short, immersive opera presented at the Blaffer Art Museum. Centered on finding hope and determination in the face of adversity, the work follows three Hispanic childhood friends whose lives are shaped by the support and success that grows from unwavering resolve and one boy’s dreams of baseball. La Gran Esperanza is composed by Nathan Felix and conducted by Jilin Dong and features performers from the University of Houston student alongside professional musicians from the greater Houston community. Please be aware that this is an interactive performance with no seating. Attendees will move with the performers throughout the museum, which includes stairs leading to the second level. An accessibility survey will be provided with ticket confirmation.

La Gran Esperanza is commissioned and produced by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houston.
