Chrisman Studio Artist Program

Named in recognition of the support of Sarah and Roger Chrisman, the Chrisman Studio Artist Program beginning with the 21|22 Season will be making changes to the program and the audition process. Please review below.

Opera Santa Barbara is seeking submissions from California based artists: singers, pianists, stage directors, conductors, and other professionals pursuing or interested in a career in opera production and administration. Artists can be considered for all available opportunities including mainstage productions or placement in our newly expanded Chrisman Studio Artist Program. It is a growing priority for Opera Santa Barbara to showcase locally and regionally based artists.

Opera Santa Barbara is an equal opportunity employer. We recognize the historic lack of racial diversity in the workforce of the Performing Arts with a Western European origin, and are committed to providing opportunities for artists of all backgrounds.

Please submit all inquiries and materials through our designated Google Form. Although applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, preference will be given to artists who apply by July 15th for the Chrisman Studio Artist Program.
