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 very big chorus numbers and commitment. DOUBT has an ensemble of 12 soloists.
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.
