✨THE REVIEWS ARE IN! ✨ If you're curious about what you'll experience at 8th Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera, here's a (glowing) first-hand account:

"...the production shifts seamlessly between comedy, introspection, and imagination. The intimate setting at dadaLab removes any sense of distance between performers and audience, allowing every emotional beat and vocal nuance to land with remarkable immediacy...."

"'Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera' is less interested in providing easy answers than in expanding our expectations of what opera can achieve. Judging by the laughter, thoughtful silence, and enthusiastic applause throughout the performance, that conversation is very much worth having." -Sabrina Wallace, BroadwayWorld

Review: 8TH FRESH SQUEEZED OUNCE OF OPERA at DadaLab Who says opera is only about tragic romance? One Ounce Opera's Fresh Squeezed Ounce of Opera presents three original chamber operas exploring dark comedy, environmental collapse, and survival, proving that this centuries-old art form continues to evolve in exciting and unexpected ways.
