==Musical forces== The Houston Grand Opera Orchestra consists of 49 part time professional musicians and plays all Houston Grand Opera performances. The orchestra is a member of the Regional Orchestra Players Association and is a per service orchestra. No music director was appointed during the Walter Herbert years (1955β72) until 1971, when longtime assistant conductor and chorus master Charles Rosekrans was named. Later music directors/principal conductors include Chris Nance (1974β77), John DeMain (1977β94), and Vjekoslav Ε utej (1994β97). Patrick Summers has been the music director since 1998. With the 2019β20 season, [[Kim Eun-sun (conductor)|Eun Sun Kim]] became principal guest conductor, the first female conductor ever to hold the post. The Houston Grand Opera Chorus has been led since 1988 by chorus master Richard Bado, an alumnus of HGO's young artist training program, the Houston Grand Opera Studio.
