Dapper Gents Gather for Fash Bash at Buck Mason

Travis Brady, William Finnorn and Michael Hogan

ON A DELIGHTFULLY crisp autumn night, a group of dapper dudes gathered to peruse Buck Mason’s Fall 2023 collection in the hip Montrose Collective development, which is quickly becoming a see-and-be scene.

Upon arrival, gentlemen mingled over Maker’s Mark Old Fashioned cocktails and charcuterie boards by neighboring wine bar Fiora’s Bottle Shop, all while perusing the seasonable wares (and the classic car parked in the middle of the store!). The sip-and-see was hosted by The Montrose Collective, Buck Mason and William Finnorn of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty.

Just in time for Houston’s cold front next week, Buck Mason’s fall 2023 collection promises a collection of refined textured knits and relaxed thermal layers and flannels.

This Weekend: HGO Takes on Rarely Staged — and Oft Controversial — Wagner Opera

(photo by Robert Kusel)

Parsifal

TO BE BLUNT, there’s opera, and then there’s Wagner. By the time Richard Wagner had completed Parsifal in 1882, he was using the word bühnenweihfestspiel (“festival play for the consecration of a stage”) instead of “opera” to describe this four-and-a-half-hour epic, where music, drama, lighting, architecture, and quasi-religious ritual come together to create what the Germans called “gesamtkunstwerk,” or a total work of art. In the past decade, only two U.S. opera houses have had the guts to take on Parsifal, which makes the upcoming Houston Grand Opera production even more of a must-see, given how rarely this complex and controversial opera is staged.
