SING WITH THE MIDLANDS' MOST EXCITING OPERA COMPANY!

To quote from a recent review.. 'It’s so good to see Midland Opera bouncing back after a long hard look at itself. A result is the spectacularly increasing size of its membership and the quality of the principals it attracts.'

There are vacancies in all sections but we are currently particularly seeking:
2 x 1st Tenor
2 x second tenor
Comments from our recent Verdi concerts include...'a great joy to be part of the evening and the experience'...'such a lovely group, you all have true soul'...'there were moments I doubt you get any better on a professional stage anywhere'...

Singing as a chorus member

Chorus singers are assessed informally, within company rehearsals over a period of weeks while they settle in. They are not asked to sing individually, unless they wish to. The ability to sing and keep a line is essential. Sight-singing is useful. Chorus CDs are often available to aid learning.
