Members of the club can receive dress rehearsal and performance tickets to operas during the season. Other opportunities for listening to opera are available over the radio. For instance, on each Saturday afternoon the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts live to hundreds of radio stations all over the world. In Houston, the broadcasts are usually Saturdays at 12:30 on 88.7 FM
Houston radio station KRTS 92.1 FM offers its weekly dose of opera on Sunday evenings at 7.

Club History
"Our New York Trip"
Welcome opera fans!
The opera club is growing fast, both in numbers and in our range of activities. This year, members have volunteered as ushers and boutique salespersons at Houston Grand Opera. Some club members went to New York City in December of 2001 to see Strauss's Frau Ohne Shatten and the musicals Kiss Me Kate, Aida, and 42nd Street.
