Subscribers to enjoy a full suite of expanded benefits for the best operatic experience
As Houston Grand Opera (HGO) announced its exciting six-opera season for 2023-24, the company also announced a host of new benefits for its full-season subscribers, who will receive an array of exclusive benefits designed to give them the best possible experience when attending a performance. This season, HGO is offering a variety of subscriptions, from flexible three-opera packages to the full six-opera season. Full subscriptions start as low as $90.
“As we announce our new season, we also begin efforts to reward our loyal subscribers for pursuing their passion for the arts through Houston Grand Opera,” says Chief Marketing and Experience Officer Jennifer Davenport. “We have spent countless hours reviewing the value they receive as our supporters and are proud to roll out our most expansive benefits ever. This initiative will not only help us extend a warm welcome back to our subscriber community for the 2023-24 season, but also help us to grow this group of opera lovers and expand our HGO family.”
The HGO subscriber community will enjoy priority seating, easy ticket exchanges, and their own dedicated customer service representative, all put in place to make their opera experience a seamless one. They will receive invitations to exclusive events such as pre-show talks and backstage tours while enjoying special discounts, including deals at nearby restaurants, available only to them.
A subscriber-only newsletter will share insider information on upcoming HGO productions, as well as reminders about important dates, deadlines, and invitations.
