Houston Herman Miller Park and the open-air theatre

Herman Park is located in the southwest city centre, tree-lined, covering about 165 hectares. Park was Texas Medical Center, Rice University, and surrounded by numerous museums. Park's southwest and the northeast entrance of the park were standing donors Herman (Hermann) and pioneers of Houston, Texas (Sam Houston) statue. Open-air theatre at Herman Miller Park (Hermann Park) in the northeast corner, near the Natural Science Museum and the Sam Houston statue. From the end of April to the end of November here almost every weekend (Wu Liuri three days) at the performances are free or movie: a symphony, ballet, dance, jazz, Spanish dance, everything. Free does not mean that a low level, many operas in the world may be called on first-class level, such as the Nutcracker, Madama Butterfly, such as Swan Lake production, actors are first-class level. At the end of July to August each year, will be held here Shakespeare Festival (Shakespeare Festival), staged Shakespeare's plays. To 2006 is already No. 32 sector. Not only is the weekend during this period of time, usually at night even during the day are free performances. Illustrate the need for that, although the title of the Theatre "Open", but is actually a semi-open like building, in front of over 1,000 seats. At noon the day and evening performances can be free from the east Theatre votes. Production started five minutes, not counting the audience can also free admission. The acoustics than the seating area to the regular theater is not bad. However, the majority of people prefer the outside grassland. Just imagine, in the summer night, one (or two) in the lawn, or sit or lie down, at the same time enjoy the wonderful performances, it is so wonderful ah.
