Join the Fremont Opera Chorus!
Sing with us in La Traviata in August

This summer Fremont Opera presents Verdi’s beloved masterpiece, with a brilliant cast and the full Fremont Symphony.  La Traviata is set in the glittering salons of 19th-century Paris, and the chorus has a major role in two big, elegant party scenes. Chorus members play party guests, entertainers, and gamblers. There will be costumes, action, and thrilling music to sing.

Chorus Master: James Frieman, jimfrieman@aol.com

We still have openings in the Traviata chorus for altos, tenors, and basses. Interested singers should contact Barbara Sloss by email at bgsloss@fremontopera.org. Telephone messages may also be left at 650-508-9659

There will be two music rehearsals each week, beginning on June 5.
Staging rehearsals will begin on August 19.

• Good physical health and stamina
• Ability to learn and memorize music independently

At all chorus auditions, singers must be prepared to sing a short selection in Italian from memory. Longer pieces should be edited to no more than three minutes. An accompanist will be provided.
