One Ounce Opera Production Company

One Ounce Opera Production Company creates and presents innovative micro-operas that connect and transform audiences through dynamic storytelling, fostering a welcoming environment for all to experience the art of opera in an intimate setting.

Hey, curious arts lover! Experience Austin&rsquo;s annual micro-opera showcase &ndash; one of the most anticipated and award-winning classical events of the season! Join us for 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&hellip;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]!&nbsp; And if the micro-operas were movies, these would be their taglines:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Rethink that next random dinner invitation, because sometimes a meal isn&rsquo;t the best way to &ldquo;meat.&rdquo; (Having Guests for Dinner,&nbsp;Bentz/Feng)</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Be careful with names &ndash; and what the waters bring in &ndash; they may bind you to something. (Mud Girl, Najmi/Evans)</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Honey, I shrunk the (post-apocalyptic) world, and all I see are a couple of micro-plastics and a (sexy?) tardigrade. (Forever, Gartman/Tien)</li></ul>Overall, what should you expect at FSOO? A super low-lift experience! Our annual showcase is a great escape, regardless of your previous experiences with opera. Three new, dynamic works clocking in at around 20 minutes each, sung in English, presented in an intimate, welcoming, air-conditioned, unexpected space. General admission seating means you choose your own adventure. And a complimentary bar, featuring Live Oak Brewing and other tasty bevs, rounds out your experience. Seven shows to choose from, all at East Austin&rsquo;s hub for immersive, inventive stuff, dadaLab. July 17, 18 (ASL-interpreted), 19 (m), 21, 23, 24, + 25 (m), 2026. Evening shows at 7:30, matinees (m) at 2:30. Doors + complimentary bar open 30 minutes before, general admission seating. Only 85 seats per show! This year&#39;s showcase is recommended for ages 12 and up due to slightly adult themes and brief moments of spicy language.
