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.
