Not by the first rehearsal, but definitely by the time the staging rehearsals start.

The productions are at the Jubilee Auditorium. Rehearsals are held at Edmonton Opera's rehearsal hall, located at 15230 128 Ave. A week prior to opening night, rehearsals are every night and mandatory. The confirmed schedules are set when chorus contracts are signed, but in general, music rehearsals are two to three nights per week, starting around six to eight weeks before the show. What does the rehearsal schedule look like? Rehearsals are always evenings and weekends, not during typical business hours. Being part of the chorus also means you get to share the stage with world-class singers, directors and designers, and there is opportunity to be considered for small solo roles. We also offer you two complimentary tickets to Tuesday or Friday performances of the opera, a parking pass for the Jubilee, and other ticket discounts. Can I still be a part of the opera chorus?ĭo I get paid? Are there any other benefits?Ĭhorus members are paid hourly based on Alberta’s minimum wage. I have sung in choirs, but have no classical voice training or haven’t seen opera before. Many of our chorus members are employed in other professions and pursuits. Do I need a music degree to be part of the chorus?
