Singer Auditions

UPCOMING
Fall Auditions 2024
Date TBA

Dear Auditions Applicant:

The board and members of the Opera Buffs are pleased that you plan to participate in our Auditions Program. These Auditions are for singers in Southern California, ages 18-32, whom the Opera Buffs have not heard before or whom we have not heard within the last year.

The Opera Buffs Auditions Program is not a competition. We do not declare winners or award prizes. We exist to help singers financially by awarding grants and offering paid performance experience.

These auditions are attended by our Board of Directors, the Scholarship Committee, Performers Showcase Committee, some representatives from local opera companies and interested Opera Buffs members. Assessment of scholarship applications and selection of singers for forthcoming concerts, salons and our final concert with orchestra are partially based upon these auditions.

We hold auditions twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.

After your audition, you will either be invited to apply for a grant, encouraged to re-audition for us in the spring or next season, and/or put on The Opera Buffs roster of singers and be invited to participate in one of our season’s paid performance opportunities.

We hope you find the Auditions Program a useful process and we thank you for your participation.
