HGO Opera to Go! 2024-2025

This application closed on Wednesday April 24, 2024.

Thank you for your interest in auditioning for Houston Grand Opera's Opera to Go!

Virtual submissions via YapTracker will be considered for an invitation-only live audition to be held on Thursday, May 2 and Tuesday, May 7 at the Wortham Theater Center (concurrent with auditions for HGO Chorus). Singers selected to advance to the live audition round will be individually notified with an invitation.

Opera to Go presents high-energy operas at schools, libraries, and community centers in fully staged, 45-minute performances. Our 2024-2025 season performances will feature two short productions: Slopera! and Don’t Let the Pigeon Sing Up Late!, both with music by Carlos Simon and libretto by Mo Willems. We are eager to cast singers that reflect the diverse communities of Houston. Although fluency in Spanish is not required, singers who are bilingual in English and Spanish are especially encouraged to audition.

Not all applicants are guaranteed an audition, and all live auditions must take place in Houston.  If an audition is granted, the time slots will be self-selected by the auditionee. The panel will also be listening for potential participants in our other HGO Community and Learning programing.

Please visit our website to learn more about all the programs offered in HGO Community and Learning: Houston Grand Opera - Community And Learning.

Please contact HGO Community and Learning at operatogo@houstongrandopera.org with any questions regarding this application. For technical help, please contact help@yaptracker.com.
