Opera on Tap at Syntax: Physic Opera – NEXT! Mock Auditions

Mock Auditions posterOpera auditions go like this: a singer walks into a room they’ve never been in before, hands a list of five arias to a panel of judgey opera company representatives and the singer introduces what they will sing first. After performing the first aria, while the panel invariably types on their laptops and whispers about who knows what, the panel – HOPEFULLY! – chooses the next aria they would like to hear.

This is a seriously sucky experience for most singers, but a necessary evil.

Let’s make it way more fun!

Our singers will sing their first aria for an appreciative audience who will cheer them on (that’s you!) while eating and drinking and enjoying life! Then at intermission you will get to vote for what you would like to hear next from each singer’s list of arias and then we sing it for you – to more cheering! Yay!

What could be better than opera in bars?  Why – opera at breweries, of course!

Colorado is known for its huge number of excellent craft breweries and we intend to sing at them all.

Or we will at least try our very best to hit as many as we can as often as possible!

Our singers will choose the opera arias you absolutely HAVE to hear – whether you are an opera newbie or a serious afficionado –  the coolest, most gorgeous, breathtaking, devastating operatic offerings.

And, for a truly incredible sensory experience, we will be pairing Upslope Brewing Company’s amazing beers with arias!

You have to check out how totally cool this is.
