2013 "Standard Repertoire Project"
AUDITION APPLICATION

dell’Arte Opera Ensemble's primary mission is to nurture emerging artists in the integration of
all the skills needed to pursue an operatic career.  You must have completed an undergraduate
degree (not necessarily in music) to participate in the "STANDARD REPERTOIRE PROJECT." 
While there is no upper age limit, dell’Arte Opera Ensemble's participants tend to be 21-40 and are poised to launch, or have already begun, operatic careers.

After you complete this form, you will need to send a processing fee of $35 to our offices (check or money order only, please), along with your headshot and resume.  The fee also includes an accompanist provided for the audition.  This year's accompanist will be Eric Malson.

You will be given a reference number to put in the memo line of your check.
If we choose not to hear you in a live audition, we will return your application fee via US Mail. 
Once an appointment is scheduled for you, your fee is non-refundable.

Please read the full SRP information page
and SRP program description before beginning.

Do NOT use USPS Express Mail or any other method
which requires a signature for pickup. 
(REgular United STates Mail works just fine!)

Applications must be received by FRIDAY February 1, 2013
Applications must include the $35.00 fee or they will be returned.
