OPERA AUSTIN FESTIVAL

NOVEMBER 15 | 4 P.M. | DRAYLEN MASON MUSIC STUDIO

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 on November 15, 2025, from 4 pm to 10:30 pm at the Draylen Mason Music Studio.

Opera Austin Festival will spotlight diverse productions 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 the community! Your wristband will provide access to all performances and complimentary food and refreshments from our sponsors.
