There will be no lockout or work stoppage at the Houston Grand Opera.

The company announced that it has reached a new agreement with International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE), Local 51 which would extend union contracts through July 31, 2022.

Per a press release, the two sides had been working toward an agreement after the previous agreement had been extended in light of Hurricane Harvey, which left the company devastated and without its main building during the 2017-18 season. The new agreement was reached on Feb. 26, 2019.

“We are grateful that HGO was able to reach an agreement with IATSE Local 51 that benefits both parties and continues a long and productive partnership. It allows our company to realize productions at the highest possible level in all our future plans,” HGO Managing Director Perryn Leech stated in the press release.

“These behind-the-scenes workers are more often unseen by our audience but are so often required to perform complex physical and technical tasks, and they are absolutely essential to our success artistically and creatively.”
