Auditionees are free to sing either their own choice piece OR select a piece from the long list of arias below that will feature in the concert. Arias for the concert will be selected from this long list based on auditions. All Soloists will be expected to sing in the Chorus in the Concert. Attendance at 3 rehearsals will required to take part in the concert. The Chorus rehearse on Thursday evenings at Carey Baptist Church, Pole St Preston from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Rehearsals will start in earnest from September (DATE TBC) therefore there are ample opportunities to attend 3 rehearsals. The Company reserves the right to withdraw the solo spot if the singer is unable to attend Chorus rehearsals to sing with the Chorus. Preston Opera understands the need to prioritise auditions and performances and therefore there is flexibility if unavoidable clashes arise of this nature on a case by case basis.
