The quiet gives the impression of calm, but on both sides of the curtain adrenaline rushes through the air as the music boldly announces the power and vitality barely contained in the ornately costumed dancer who now owns the stage. A once-in-a-lifetime performance? Not in Houston.
Any day of the week all year long, Houston audiences marvel at the artistry of an impressive range of performing arts groups; here the arts are a significant part of everyday life.
