From the Artistic Director

King Arthur and his magical Kingdom…Spain’s most infamous gypsy and her contrasting lovers…a tragic clown driven to jealousy and murder……Welcome to the Augusta Opera’s 2007 – 2008 season of operatic excellence. With Camelot, La Tragedie de Carmen and I Pagliacci, we journey this year musically and artistically from France to Italy to Broadway. Joining me in presenting these celebrated works for you are internationally acclaimed artists as well as many of our wealth of local talent.

Don’t forget our twenty-third visit to St. Paul’s which has become an Augusta tradition, featuring the Augusta Opera Chorus and Orchestra and the renowned Augusta Children’s Chorale. As is said about Camelot, “there truly is a spot of happ’ly-ever-aftering”… the Augusta Opera. Please join us now.

Operatically yours,

Mark D. Flint, Artistic Director

Auditions

Augusta Opera holds local auditions for comprimario roles and Educational Outreach performers in the Spring of each year. We are very interested in hearing local singers for these positions. Singers are encouraged to prepare a song in an operatic, musical theatre, or art song style for Maestro Flint to hear. An accompanist is always provided but you are welcome to bring your own.

During other parts of the year, individuals seeking to join the volunteer choral ensemble, may call the Opera office at (706) 826-4710 and arrange for the Chorus Master, Les Reagan, to hear you.

Augusta Opera is an equal opportunity employer and we strive to achieve a level of diversity in our productions.
