Seattle Opera Chorus

The Seattle Opera Chorus is a part-time professional chorus. Each chorister is affiliated with the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA). Choristers should be able to physically perform basic stage direction. When possible, within the artistic parameters of a particular production, Management will make its best effort to make reasonable adjustments when requested. Such adjustments will be made solely at Management’s discretion.

Seattle Opera is seeking professional vocalists to participate in the upcoming bi-annual Open Chorus Auditions. Successful auditionees will be considered for positions on the Associate and Supplemental rosters. Rostered choristers may be called upon for any Seattle Opera production. Auditions will be adjudicated by Chorus Master Michaella Calzaretta. The deadline to apply is Monday, October 28, 2024 at 5:00 PM.
