OPERA AUSTIN FESTIVAL

November 16 @ 4:00 pm - 10:30 pm

$30

A One-Night Festival Celebrating New Opera by Opera Organizations, Composers, and Singers. Opera Austin Festival was conceived to create a festival highlighting the collaborative and innovative spirit that thrives in Central Texas. Opera Austin Festival will take place November 16, 2024, from 4 pm to 10:30 pm at the Draylen Mason Music Studio.

This inaugural festival will bring together entities in Austin, including LOLA, Austin Opera, One Ounce Opera, Peter Stopchinski, Nathan Felix Opera Productions, Inversion Ensemble, and more! Opera Austin Festival will spotlight new operas by the aforementioned local opera companies on the main stage in the Draylen Mason Music Studio. Each participating organization will curate its opera under the festival umbrella, to present an eclectic variety of creativity and voices.

A secondary Aria Stage will pair new works by living composers with young artists early in their singing careers, all of whom submitted materials to an open call this summer. The festival will also include panel discussions in the conference room, allowing composers and organizations to discuss their work.

Please join us as a community at this inaugural event. Your wristband will provide access to all performances and complimentary food and refreshments from our sponsors. For updates on programming drop by www.OperaAustinFestival.com
