Houston Ballet revives Stanton Welch's heartbreaking signature work, which, since 1995, has delighted audiences with the classic tale of a Japanese Geisha and her all-consuming love for an American Naval officer, Pinkerton.

The tour is packed full of premieres and returning favorites, offering a fantastic chance to enjoy the group once again.
