Fresh Squeezed Opera looks to emerging artists and composers to create our performances within the contemporary music community. Our process lends itself to fulfilling learning experiences for everyone involved. We aim to create exceptional collaborative environments, making the pieces performed are truly living, breathing, works.
We do not require a fee to submit, but we kindly ask each composer to consider making a donation of $5. (Donations will not affect final decisions). https://www.freshsqueezedopera.com/donate
Submit 1-2 pieces that meet the following criteria:
Our theme this year is: “I’m just trying to have a nice fucking day” – the piece must be comedic or funny in some way
Between 7 – 15 minutes (can be multiple movements)
With the instrumentation of 1 singer, and a maximum of 5 instruments (can consist of sop/mezz/ten/bari; fl, cl/b.cl, ob, bsn, hrn, v, va, c, piano, electronics (fixed or live), perc (limited))
The work submitted does not need to be un-performed (ie, this performance does not need to be the premiere of the work)
