Houston Grand Opera: Don Carlos
From: April 13, 2012 - April 28, 2012 (Recurring daily)
Location: Houston Grand Opera
Address: 510 Preston, Ste. 500, Houston, TX 77002
Times: April 13, 6:30 p.m. | April 15, 2 p.m. | April 19, 6:30 p.m. | April 22, 2 p.m. | April 28, 6:30 p.m.
Don Carlos, with intense passions and a majestic score, is the quintessential grand opera. King Phillippe II of Spain dissolves the engagement of Don Carlos, his son, and Elisabeth de Valois by marrying the French princess himself. The ensuing drama pits father against son, crown against church and conscience against loyalty. Verdi's music heightens emotions in this sweeping drama set during the turbulence of sixteenth-century Europe.

Come out and stretch your legs biking to the Farmer’s Markets of Houston to shop for local organic produce! Hop on your bike and let’s take a ride through the side streets, trails, and residential areas in the heart of Houston. This is a very social ride and all levels of riders are welcome. We will start the morning off with coffee at Onion Creek and then cruise through 2-3 markets to shop for fresh produce, sauces, jams, and bread. This is a 12-15 mile ride that lasts about three hours so bring plenty of water and a backpack to carry your goodies!
