An opera company dedicated to supporting our community, supporting artists, and making great art!
LOLA is committed to cultivating the future of opera by offering new approaches to this art form and classical singing. Our mission includes integrity to our approach to opera, to the Austin community, and to each other. We stand with our Black colleagues and all who are working toward radical change, unity and justice. Our projects give artists unique and interesting outlets for their work, pull in diverse audiences, and propel opera out of the grand hall, flowing into the larger community.

What a Year! As we step into 2026, we want to pause and say thank you for being part of another exciting, adventurous year with LOLA. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and belief in new opera make everything we do possible.
As a thank-you, we’re delighted to share a video from our 2025 production of We Might Be Struck By Lightning. Consider it a little artistic spark to kick off the year and a reminder of what we love most: excellent music, bold artistic collaborations, creative storytelling, and the electricity that happens when artists and audiences meet. - https://youtu.be/ytcwRy9O0ZU
