Baritone/Bass singers to the Göteborg Opera male Chorus

The chorus consists of 46 professional singers and performs in most of our opera productions as well as concerts. Members of the chorus are regularly used for solo parts and are occasionally given the opportunity to cover lead roles. We consider drama and movement to be important elements of the chorus' work.

The Göteborg Opera wish to employ three singers for the baritone/bass section, in the opera chorus. All three positions are permanent contracts and start with a probationary year on the 1st of July 2022. 

Qualifications required: Higher education from Music or Opera Academy or equivalent education. Our working languages are Swedish and English. If you have stage experience from musical theatre, it will be considered a merit. Audition in two rounds, by personal invitation, will take place on November 14-15th 2021. During round 1 on November 14th, a selection process will be done, and a number of candidates will be invited to take part of round 2 of the audition on November 15th. Selected candidates will receive detailed information about the audition, and the audition procedure by the 15th of October 2021, at the latest.

For the audition we would like you to prepare: 

Round 1: 

- One aria of your choice, performed from memory. 

Round 2: 

- One Mozart-aria, performed from memory. 

- One aria of your choice, performed from memory. (May be the same aria as in round 1) 

- Chorus excerpts (to be performed with members of the Opera chorus, sheet music allowed - the sheet music will be sent to you together with the invitation)
