Peach State Opera, Georgia’s premier touring opera company, will hold live auditions in the metro Atlanta area for its 2025-2026 season on Saturday and Sunday, June 13-14, 2026. Virtual Auditions are welcome if you are unable to make it in person. Help us share the thrill of live opera with small communities in Georgia and beyond! PSO will be touring a production of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville (presented in English) throughout Georgia and neighboring states. For Barber of Seville, we are casting 7 principal roles and 4 solo choristers SATB — all roles are available. Chorus will be arranged for mixed voices instead of the usual TTB. 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.
Music rehearsals are tentatively planned for December 5-6, with blocking rehearsals tentatively scheduled for Dec 14-19. All rehearsals will be in the Metro Atlanta area. Performances are currently being finalized and will occur on select weekends mid-January through March 2027. 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 guarantee housing (to out-of-state artists) for the rehearsal periods.
