About the company
The Austin Lyric Opera, a non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, receives federal grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to support artist and orchestra fees for operatic productions and related community engagement programs. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — all eleven awards in the source data are NEA project grants, with no contract work, subcontracting activity, or prime contract vehicle positions.
The Austin Lyric Opera's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer agency: the National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 100% of awards across the source period. Recent grant work includes a January 2026 NEA project grant supporting artist fees for a new staging of "Fiddler on the Roof" in recognition of America's 250th Anniversary (completion June 2026); a July 2023 award for orchestra fees and community engagement programming around a new production of "Cruzar la Cara de la Luna" by composer Jose Pepe Martinez and librettist Leonard Foglia (completed June 2024); and a July 2022 award supporting artist fees for performances of "The Pearl Fishers" by Georges Bizet with community engagement components (completed May 2023). Combined obligated dollars across all eleven awards total $2.4 million over the source period spanning 2010 through early 2026.
Activity has remained sparse and sporadic — one award per year in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, with a gap before the January 2026 award. The organization does not operate as a federal contractor, hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or engage as a subcontractor to other federal primes. The Austin Lyric Opera's federal engagement is restricted to arts and cultural programming grants from the NEA under the project grant assistance type.
