About the project and the company

The Seattle Chamber Opera Project offers a unique experience for opera singers and enthusiasts alike. Our minimalist approach to live performances in intimate community settings allows for a more immersive and innovative experience. We strive to nurture our community by creating greater accessibility to the opera art form, paying our artists stipends, and by exploring lesser-performed chamber works while also bringing fresh ideas to early works of opera.

We are casting for a small cast chamber work piano reduction (4 singers) of Salieri's Prima la Musica e Poi Le Parole. The performance will be a minimally staged sung read-through of a one-act opera. Musical scores will be used, and thus “off-book memorization” will not be required for the performance.

Looking to fill Maestro role (Bass or Bass-Baritone).

Bass or Bass-Baritone voice types ESPECIALLY NEEDED and encouraged to apply!
