Chorus Contact Form and Audition Info

Chorus Contact Form and Audition Info
Welcome Singers!

We will be auditioning new chorus singers at the end of January, both in person and by video, as well as any returning singers who are interested in paid section leader or soloist positions in "The Wizard of Oz." Note that general chorus roles are volunteer positions.

If you are a returning singer, you only need to submit a video or in-person audition if you would like to be considered for a section leader (paid) or featured soloist position. Please fill out this entire form, either way! This is how we keep track of your details and conflicts.

If you are new, welcome! I am always excited to get aquainted with new singers, and look forward to meeting you by video or in person.

Principal roles rehearse during the work-day from April 28-May 9. Singers who are interested in a principal role and are available for daytime rehearsals should contact Brian Alhadeff at Brian@operaSLO.org.
