Singers

Principals: Regina Opera auditions, which are held as needed throughout the season, are by invitation only. Send us your resume, headshot, and a recent recording, and we’ll contact you if a suitable role is available. There is no audition fee. We provide the accompanist, although you may of course bring your own if you prefer. If you are chosen for a role, you MUST be available for rehearsals Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons, as well as for all performance dates.

E-mail your resume and a recent recording to Fran Garber at reginaopera@yahoo.com with your name and desired role or voice type in the Subject line.

Please make sure your resume indicates where you actually reside (city and state or country), and includes a contact phone number and e-mail address. Note to singers who live outside New York City: We cannot provide room and board.

Chorus: E-mail Fran Garber at reginaopera@yahoo.com to audition for our chorus. We are especially in need of tenors and basses. Choristers must be able to read music and be available to attend rehearsals on Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons, as well as extra rehearsals as needed.

Dancers: We are often in need of dancers. Please send your resume to Fran Garber at reginaopera@yahoo.com if you would like to be considered for a future production.

Stage Directors and Conductors

Your resume is always welcome; we will contact you for an interview if a position opens. And let us know if you have something in production that you’d like us to see. We pay a nominal honorarium. E-mail your resume to Fran Garber at reginaopera@yahoo.com.

Musicians

Piano accompanists and orchestral players should e-mail Fran Garber at reginaopera@yahoo.com. Payment is per service.

A nominal honorarium may be paid depending on the position and our budget. E-mail Fran Garber at reginaopera@yahoo.com to apply.

We also need volunteers to handle the box office, concessions, ushering, and cleanup — no pay, but you get to see fine opera for free!
