From an early age, Christopher Humbert Jr. s life has revolved around his musical gifts.
Starting out playing the piano at age 4, Humbert soon began participating in school marching bands, choirs and musicals in his native Akron, where he honed his abilities as a vocalist and recognized his love for musical theater. I don t think I found opera, I think opera found me, Humbert, 23, said. I feel like I ve always been involved in music and it s always been something that s defined what I am. It s just been in my blood since I ve been young. But opera was the one thing that was given to me.

Nopales, venison and mesquite are as much a part of the foodways of Texas as tacos, tamales and tortillas.
Food is where Adán Medrano s new documentary starts, but the film, Truly Texas Mexican, which launched on Amazon Prime this week, weaves through history, archaeology, feminism and spirituality, leaving viewers with a deeper understanding of Texas-Mexico history, which typically skips over the first 10,000 years of the region.
Food history in Texas often leaves out the voices of women and immigrants, too, says Medrano, a San Antonio native who grew up in Houston, went to graduate school in Austin and lived all over South America and Europe for a former job in philanthropy.

Five big Texas opera companies have teamed up to name Ryan Speedo Green as their first joint artist in residence.
The Texas Opera Alliance was formed in 2020 by opera troupes in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Fort Worth to promote, transform and diversify the art form in the state. What better way than to sponsor an established star for a residency? Green, a bass-baritone who has sung on global stages, will spend the last two weeks of March in Texas involved in various initiatives, leading up to the filming of the postponed An All-Star Concert, which will air on public television on an unspecified date in April.
