To apply for an audition, copies of the audition pieces or for further details please contact either Geoff Horton on 01254 831518 (email geoff@thehortons.org.uk ) or Barbara Walsh on 01772 784578 (email admin@longridgeteachingcentre.co.uk ). It is our intention to double-cast major principal
parts. Applicants should note that although we aim for and regularly
achieve professional standards we are nonetheless an amateur company. We do not
therefore pay soloists other than in exceptional circumstances, although we
occasionally pay travelling expenses. We do, however, offer opportunities for
singers and players to undertake roles that they may not easily find elsewhere,
backed by a strong chorus and orchestra which provide them with valuable
experience working with conductors of a high calibre. Many Preston Opera members
and conductors have moved on to successful professional careers.
