Festival Details - "7th Annual Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera"...

Start: Friday, February 21, 2025 7:30PM
End: Sunday, March 2, 2025 4:00PM

Experience Austin's award-winning annual micro-opera showcase – our most anticipated event of the season!

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, and March 1, 2025 at 7:30 pm; and Sundays February 23 and 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!

Announcing the winning works selected for the 7th Annual Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera!

"Ray Bradbury, Age 12, at the Carnival in Waukegan, Illinois"
music and libretto by Tyler Mabry
The true story, as (very) often told by beloved American author Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Martian Chronicles), of the mysterious, fantastical Dill Brothers Circus that sparked his interest in becoming a writer. A cascading carousel of wonder!

Ray Bradbury – Nicholas Flott
Mr. Electrico – Jake Jacobsen
Young Ray – Hillary Schranze
Zara/Tattooed Man – Kaley Williams
Calista/Others – Sandra Villwock


"Las Autenticas"
music by Benjamin Morris
libretto by Laura Fuentes
"The Most Authentic Taco in LA," eh? Join Jenny and her Tía Luz the moment they hear from the "Lord of Tortillas" himself – Esteban Eats – and prepare their food truck for a day they'll not soon forget. ¿Porque no hacemos unos tacos?

Luz – Sandra Mercado
Jenny – Annisha Mackenzie
Esteban/Gary – Julius Young


"Beyond"
music by Lisa Neher
libretto by Caitlin Vincent
Consider what waits for you beyond that door. A glimpse of one possible future for humanity in the stars, this short work is a compelling meditation on life, death, the cycle of oppression, and what it means to be truly human.

142-6 – Patricia Combs
503-2 – Andrea Ochoa
