Virginia Opera regularly seeks talent from the local area for the chorus, dance, and supernumerary actors for our upcoming productions.

Please prepare one aria or art song (foreign language preferred), and we will provide an accompanist for your audition. Complete details will be provided once you’ve been scheduled.
