2024-5 SEASON AUDITIONS
Peach State Opera, Georgia’s premier touring opera company, will hold live auditions in the metro Atlanta area for its 2024-2025 season on Saturday and Sunday, August 3-4, 2024 . Help us share the thrill of live opera with small communities in Georgia and beyond! PSO will be touring a production of Verdi’s La traviata (presented in English) throughout Georgia and neighboring states. For La traviata, we are casting 8 principals and 4 solo choristers SATB – all roles are available. We will also use these auditions to cast our “Operatizers” programs presented throughout the season. These are semi-staged opera highlight performances that utilize 3-6 performers and minimal staging.

La traviata music rehearsals are planned for December 7-8, with blocking rehearsals scheduled for Dec 16-21. All rehearsals will be in the Metro Atlanta area. Performances are currently being finalized and will occur on select weekends mid-January through March 2025. Singers are paid per performance, and housing is provided for each of the tour weekends. PLEASE NOTE: Peach State Opera does NOT provide travel allowances, nor does it provide housing for the rehearsal periods.
