On Saturday, members of the Austin Opera team were in New York City to see the first public workshop of Ofrenda!

Austin Opera's first commission was featured in the American Lyric Theater's InsightALT, an intimate insider's look behind the scenes of creating new operas.

We were so thrilled to hear the audience reactions and can't wait for Austinites to experience this wonderful and special opera. Thank you American Lyric Theater, composer Jorge Sosa, librettist John de los Santos, pianist Kristen Kemp, and conductor Kamna Gupta.

Bravi to the incredible vocalists who performed with so much emotion throughout the workshop and the performance.
