Auditions will be held at the Family Music Center Sahara location on Sunday, March 19 from 12 to 5 pm.

  • If you have a preferred audition time, please indicate that in your email submission. Requests will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • A $10 audition fee will be taken at the time of your audition, which covers the fee for the pianist, Shane Jensen. You are welcome to bring your own accompanist, but please let us know ahead of time.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Prepare 3 contrasting arias.
  • Prepare brief and interesting introductions for your arias. Our OOT-LV audience will be comprised of opera lovers and opera newbie’s alike. How would you describe your arias to a bar full of people who have never heard opera before?
