Since this is 19th Century England, the jury is made up of men only. We need tenors/baritones/basses, for the jury, 4 women for the Plaintiff’s Bridesmaids, and about 12 women and 6 men for Spectators. The chorus is onstage for the entire opera and has a lot of fun music to sing.
For TRIAL: Please come to the preliminary audition with two contrasting songs in English, preferably from opera, operetta or classical music theatre, that you feel will show off your voice well. You will probably be asked to sing only one song. An accompanist will be provided. Bring your music in the key in which you will sing it.

You may wish to include a selection from Trial as one of your audition pieces. Here are the excerpts we will want to hear at callbacks; it will help us greatly to hear many of you sing one of these excerpts at your preliminary audition, if you are interested in being considered for a role.
