    About

    Immerse yourself in dynamic storytelling!
    Experience Austin’s award-winning annual micro-opera showcase – our most anticipated event of the season!

    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.

    Short 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 Fridays and Saturdays February 21, 22, 28, & March 1, 2025 at 7:30 pm; and Sundays 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, 2008 Alexander Ave, Austin, TX 78722.

    Tickets are available by donation now and include complimentary beverages from our sponsor, Live Oak Brewing (along with other options). Secure your seats for this sonic adventure today!
