We are trying to be a green opera company, so we appreciate you not mailing us physical materials and you don’t need to bring materials to the audition either.
We are also inviting singers who may be interested in free Portuguese and vocal training to be a part of our Volunteer Chorus.
These will be recitals, including arias, ensembles and chorus pieces from living composers.
Repertoire features Portuguese, English and Italian.
We are looking for aspiring and professional singers to be part of our rooster.
