With this season being Houston Grand Opera’s first woman and POC General Director, Khori Dastoor’s debut, the opera sought to transform how people saw and experienced the art form before the curtain even rose. Our challenge was to curate a season campaign that invited all of Houston to the Wortham Theater for a powerful season that brought the opera’s new vision to life, bringing a modern, inclusive approach to a centuries-old art form.
Hierarchy identified three key themes that weaved the seasons together and drove our creative: powerful female leads, strong voices, and bold stories that focused on these women’s experiences, ranging from tragedy to love to power. With a strategic media plan in place, we executed an integrated campaign visualized through layered illustration styles, emotionally driven copy, adn bold design elements that served as the centerpiece for season posters, videos, social media, experiences, and more.






Houston Grand Opera's season became a powerful celebration of women's voices and stories, meeting subscription goals two months ahead of its target.
