THANK YOU for making Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera a success!

We did it! We premiered five new micro-operas with your support, selling out last Friday and Saturday evening performances to enthusiastic crowds -- THANK YOU!

Thank you to our illustrious composers and librettists who were all in attendance, and traveled many miles to join us in Austin. Welcome to the OOO Family: Steven Serpa, Tori Ovel, Liam Wade, John Grimmett, Jesse McMilin, and Jeff Luna!

And we could not have done it without our front-of-house and backstage assistance. Shout-outs to our stage manager Monica Kurtz, assistant stage manager and door manager Brittany Trinite, lights/projection operator Angela Irving, and bartenders Anna and Ben.

You are so awesome, we want to hear from you. Fill out this quick feedback form and we will enter you for a chance to win an AUTOGRAPHED FSOO POSTER!
