Tenor singers to the Göteborg Opera 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 minor 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 two singers for the tenor section in the opera chorus. Both 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 February 13th-14th 2022. During round 1 on February 13th a selection process will be done, and a number of candidates will be invited to take part of round 2 of the audition on February 14th. Selected candidates will receive detailed information about the audition, and the audition procedure by January 14th 2022 at the latest. 

At this audition we will give priority to singers intrested in and suitable for the permanent positions. Singers only intrested in short-time production contract/extra chorus will have the opportunity to audition at a later date during 2022. 

For the audition we would like you to prepare: 

Round 1: 

- One aria of your choice, performed from memory. 

- One chorus excerpt, performed with piano either from memory or with sheet music (score will be attached to the personal invitation). 

Round 2: 

- Another aria of your choice, in a different language than Round 1, performed from memory. 

- Chorus excerpt /ensemble, to be performed with members of the opera chorus, either from memory or with sheet music (score will be attached to the personal invitation). 

- A short sightreading test
