Audition Application

Please do NOT apply for a grant until you have auditioned for us through this audition process and receive the results of your audition.

Spring Auditions
March 4, 2023 from 11:00am-4:00pm
Classroom 1325 in Schoenberg Hall, the Herb Alpert School of Music

Dear Auditions Applicant:

The board and members of the Opera Buffs are pleased that you plan to participate in our Auditions Program. These Auditions are for singers in Southern California, ages 18-32, whom the Opera Buffs have not heard before or whom we have not heard within the last year.

The Opera Buffs Auditions Program is not a competition. We do not declare winners or award prizes. We exist to help singers financially by awarding grants and offering paid performance experience.

These auditions are attended by our Board of Directors, the Scholarship Committee, Performers Showcase Committee, some representatives from local opera companies and interested Opera Buffs members. Assessment of scholarship applications and selection of singers for forthcoming concerts, salons and our final concert with orchestra are partially based upon these auditions.

We hope you find the Auditions Program a useful process and we thank you for your participation.
