Clotner Opera

Clonter receives over 200 applications each year from singers interested in auditioning for productions, which include a fully staged opera with orchestra, staged Opera Gala evenings, a series of Masterclasses, culminating in an Opera Showcase evening and a series of Performance and Musical Theatre Workshops presented to children aged 8-18.

Due to coronavirus, Clonter did not hold auditions in 2020, but it is keen to be able to offer this opportunity again this year, albeit in a slightly different format.

It is free to audition. To apply you should send your CV and photograph, together with a completed Audition Application Form, accompanied this year with links to 3 separate recordings, and forward these to clonter@clonter.org.

Applicants are asked to offer three contrasting items, of which the panel will listen to two arias not exceeding 10 minutes in total. Your choice of repertoire and presentation will play an important part in the panel’s assessment.

The submission deadline for applications is the 31st October 2021. It is estimated that the panel will convene at the beginning of November. Dates of the live auditions for shortlisted applicants are still under discussion.
