OPERA PRODUCTION | Opera singers and a pianist
2025-2026 Season : Lakmé, Léo Delibes
CALL FOR AUDITION (closed)
We are looking for opera singers and a pianist for our opera tour for the 2025–2026 season.
The opera chosen for the 2025–2026 season is Léo Delibes’s Lakmé. The opera will be a 4-character version with adaptations. Mallika’s role will also be enhanced from the original role.
The artists will participate in the Festival d’opéra de Québec, partner of our opera production, and will tour throughout Quebec, Ontario and the Maritime provinces with a small technical crew. A production internship of approximately 4 weeks is planned as part of the Festival d’opéra de Québec in the summer of 2025. The tour then requires that you be available for a period of 4 to 6 consecutive weeks in the fall of 2025, which includes rehearsals.
This will give you the opportunity to experience different venues while discovering the country. All the logistics of the tour are taken care of by Jeunesses Musicales Canada.
Record yourself, send your application and go on tour!
