AGMA:
The Metropolitan Opera Chorus and Extra Chorus offer
unique and rewarding career opportunities for highly qualified
performers. Classically trained professional singers who have been
invited to audition should be prepared to sing two operatic arias in
different languages from memory. Selections should demonstrate the
applicant’s ability to sing lyrically. An accompanist will be provided.
Applicants will be considered for positions in the Extra Chorus and
any openings in the Regular Chorus. As in the past, The Metropolitan
Opera will not know about the availability of Regular Chorus positions
at the time of the auditions. Management does not share the audition
panel’s comments with the applicant.
