Immerse yourself in dynamic storytelling!

Experience Austin’s much-anticipated, award-winning annual micro-opera showcase!

How we got here:
One Ounce Opera, in our annual call for scores, reviewed over 50 works submitted from all over the world.

We lined up an engaging program of three (3) new micro-operas that will immerse you in the sonic tellings of connective, transformative, oh-so-human stories.

Stories that feel NOW.
Dynamic.
Familiar, yet…not.

And you can experience all three in a single program: The 7th Annual Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera!

Showtimes are February 21, 22, 28, & March 1, 2025 at 7:30 pm; and February 23 & March 2, 2025 at 2:30 pm. We welcome you and your friends to reimagine opera in an unexpected (and immersive) space. This year, our home is dadaLab in East Austin!

Tickets are by donation and available now. Get a head start on your new year’s plans and grab a few today!
