"If operetta... is "pure whipped cream," then Houston's annual Lone Star Lyric Theatre Festival must surely be the cherry on top."
"Kelli Estes and the LSL production team have created something very special for the Houston community. Don't miss a Lone Star Lyric performance!"
Established in 2006, the Lone Star Lyric Theater Festival takes place in June in Houston, Texas. Featuring small venues, innovative stagings, and professional local singers of all ages, the Festival presents 2-3 productions consisting of a combination of well-known works, concerts, and new chamber operas by living American composers.
Lone Star Lyric focuses on chamber opera, operetta, and on musical theater plays that have been neglected in recent years. Its goals are to offer the Houston community interesting, affordable interactive theater events, to instill an appreciation for live lyric theater in people from all walks of life, and to give patrons the joy of being included in the performance by removing the invisible “fourth wall” that normally separates them from the action on stage.
SEATING
Ovations is a small, intimate night club with limited, first-come-first-serve seating. Lone Star Lyric can reserve seats only for Benefactors or advance ticket-holders unable to walk up the stairs to the seating in the bar area. To get your choice of seats, it’s best to arrive early. The house opens 1 hour before performance time. Requests for handicapped seating may be made when purchasing advance tickets on-line or by calling 281-360-2854 at least 24 hours before performance time.
PARKING
There is a parking garage within easy walking distance of Ovations Night Club. Starting at Ovations, go 1 block east on Times, turn right on Kelvin, then go one block to the stop sign at Amherst. The entrance to the Rice Village parking garage will be on your left, between Ann Taylor and Bath & Body Works. Distance: about 0.2 miles. Parking is free if you have your parking receipt validated at a Rice Village restaurant or shop. Ovations cannot validate parking receipts.
