Audition Requirements
Prepare one operatic aria of the performer’s choice, in the original language. Bring a current resume and photo. Singer must provide own accompanist. A list of accompanists can be made available upon request.
This season requires large chorus numbers and commitment.
As this is the one opportunity for everyone to be heard, non-resident singers are welcome and encouraged to audition. However, be aware that most principal roles are usually cast a year in advance and supporting roles and chorus are generally cast locally or from our Resident Artists Program.
