We are casting Sopranos, Mezzos, and Baritones for two shows for our 2021-22 season.

 

All performances and rehearsals will be in person in NYC. 

​

November 3, 2021 - Showcase of New Chamber Vocal Music - a concert (not off-book or staged) of 5, 10-15 minutes chamber pieces.

​

May/June 2022 - Self Defined Circuits: the world premiere of a new opera, with live and fixed electronics. Stage direction by Michael Hofmann, music direction by Whitney George. A newly created sex robot tries to find out what it means to be a woman while trapped in a world created by her programmer, Pete, and his Siri-like virtual assistant, Cora. Inspired by the “Me Too” movement, the composer's own experiences in an abusive relationship during her formative years, and the works of Sci-Fi pioneers Isaac Asimov and Ursula Le Guin, this opera explores ideas of womanhood through the lens of an artificial intelligence discovering the world, desperate to find where she fits.

​

We are casting chorus roles for our opera - only sopranos and mezzos.
