The Moores Opera Center returns to the Mucky Duck! We have been besieged with requests to bring it back, so the Moores Opera Center of the University of Houston returns to the Mucky Duck for a season kick-off evening of favorite arias and musical theatre songs. Grab a beer, have some food, and be entertained by an impressive parade of up and coming stars. With dozens of singers and no elephants in sight, it's the way opera ought to be done! |
