Resident Artists Program Auditions
The Minnesota Opera’s Resident Artist
Program offers a full season of employment for talented artists
beginning their professional careers. From late August through April,
Resident Artists gain valuable experience in assignments ranging from
ensemble, understudy, comprimario to leading roles in mainstage
performances. Resident Artists also perform concerts on stage at Ordway
Center for Performing Arts, Schubert Club's Courtroom Concerts, donor
functions, adult education classes and regional outreach.
Master
classes with guest clinicians, individualized language work, acting,
movement and stage combat, yoga and professional career development are
just a few benefits of the program.
The program is designed to
bridge the gap between an artist’s academic education and professional
career. Ideal Resident Artists are singers, coaches, administrators,
conductors and directors who have completed their post-graduate
education and may have some professional experience. We have no age
limit and are an equal opportunity employer.
