Auditions
Bath Opera's policy is to hold "open auditions" for principal parts. In other words, auditions for principal parts are performed in front of a panel and the other auditionees.
Auditions for Cosi Fan Tutte will be held at Widcombe Junior School at 7:30pm on Wednesday 3rd March 2010. Auditions are free for members of Bath Opera, but there will be a non-refundable audition fee of £15 for non-members. We regret that, as an amateur group, we are unable to pay any expenses for participating with Bath Opera.
Please check you are available for all the performances before auditioning!
Peter has chosen the audition pieces for each principal part. If you wish to be considered for a part please contact us with details of which ones interest you, and we will e-mail the music to you.
Sung in English - we will use a new translation by Graham Billing. Complete scores with this translation will be available after the auditions.
