We are accepting applications for a Make-up Artist. Applicant should have stage makeup knowledge. Candidate must be flexible and able to work with Principal Opera Singers with confidence.

This position is part time and seasonal. Applicant must be local to be considered. If you are interested, please send your resume and references to Steven.Bryant@sdopera.com.


 

Supernumerary

We are now expanding the talent pool of supernumeraries for our 2009 International Season. Whether an expert or a novice, all are welcome! Each production has a limited number of supernumerary roles (or extras). These people perform as waiters, guards, townsfolk, etc. according to the needs of the production. It’s not always a glamorous job, but you could be onstage and backstage soaking up all of the excitement. We are looking for enthusiastic and dependable people of all ages and types.

This season promises romance, intrigue, heroism and lots of EXCITEMENT. You’ll get tickets to dress rehearsals, a small stipend, meet new people, and have lots of fun!

To apply, please contact our supernumerary captain at (619) 533-7073 and leave a clear message with your name, address, email address, and phone number (and age if you are under 18) or email him at Bob.Borntrager@sdopera.com. We will email or mail you an info packet.


 

Chorus

If you have not been cast in the chorus previously and wish to be considered, your first step in the audition process is to apply for a live audition call-back. Email Chorus Master Timothy Todd Simmons at Timothy.Simmons@sdopera.com to request an application form. The application will consist of the application form and an audition recording (cassette or CD are acceptable). Your audition recording should contain two classical pieces, in different languages, preferably operatic arias.  The deadline for this application is July 1 before the season for which you are applying, but tapes should not be submitted before June 1.

From the preliminary auditions, singers will be selected to sing a live call-back audition. These auditions are usually during the last two weeks of July and in early August.

The chorus is strictly a part-time employment situation (evenings and weekends), fully AGMA contracted and paid a wage of approximately $28 per hour for rehearsals and performances.

To receive an audition application or to ask further questions, please email Chorus Master Timothy Todd Simmons at Timothy.Simmons@sdopera.com.
