AUDITION
An accompanist will be provided, but singers may bring their own. Please prepare 4-5 contrasting pieces, 3 of which should be arias. For the 2024/2025 season, German and contemporary English repertoire is encouraged.
ELIGIBILITY
You must either be a U.S. citizen or be authorized to work in the United States throughout the production period. BOC does not audition or cast singers who are enrolled full-time in a graduate or undergraduate program due to the frequently conflicting availability of our productions with university schedules. BOC is dedicated to casting and supporting singers in the Boston/New England area. Applicants must be within commuting distance to Boston, MA to be considered.
