  • Perform in the world premiere on June 6, 2026 at the Bloomington Opera Camp™
  • Potential to reprise roles in future tour performances

Minimum Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Voice, Opera, or Musical Theatre (current master's students or degree-holders preferred)
  • Advanced vocal technique and significant stage experience (opera, musical theatre, or equivalent)
  • Ability to learn music quickly and collaborate in a multilingual environment (Spanish/English/Muisca—language training provided)

Must be available for the full program: May 26 – June 6, 2026 in Bloomington, IN

 

Desired Skills (Not Required, but a Plus):

  • Experience with new works or world premieres
