Immerse yourself in dynamic storytelling

Experience Austin’s annual micro-opera showcase – one of the most anticipated and award-winning classical events of the season!

One Ounce Opera reviewed over 100 works submitted from all over the world to line up an engaging program of three (3) new micro-operas that will transport you with the sonic tellings of connective, transformative, oh-so-human stories.

Short stories that feel NOW. Dynamic. Familiar, yet…not.

And we welcome you to experience all three winning micro-operas in a single 70-minute program: The 8th Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera [FSOO]!

Who is FSOO for? EVERYONE. Make plans to join us – and bring a friend!

Hey, curious arts lover! Overall, what should you expect at FSOO?

A super low-lift evening (or afternoon)! Our annual showcase is a great escape, regardless of your previous experiences with opera. Three brand new, dynamic works sung in ~20 minutes each, in English, performed by local pros in an intimate, immersive, climate-controlled, welcoming, and unexpected space. General admission seating means you choose your own adventure. And a complimentary bar rounds out your experience.

Only 85 available seats per show, so act fast. Recommended for ages 12 and up, due to brief moments of spicy language and adult situations.

FSOO is presented at our showcase home, DADALAB (2008 Alexander Ave, 78722)! Tickets are available by suggested donation. We highly recommend getting a seat online because we regularly sell out; if there are remaining seats, they’ll be offered at the door.
