Auditions
The Auditions are usually held
on two weekday nights at the Zenith Theatre. For
the last few years we have held closed auditions,
this being the preferred choice of the management
committee and the directors involved.
If you audition for us and are
unsuccessful in obtaining one of the principal
roles available, we sincerely hope you will
audition for us in the future. When selecting a
performer for a particular role, we take into
account the performer’s ability to fully
project all the characteristics required for that
role. We assess the musical ability and dramatic
interpretation as well as consider the overall
balance of vocal types, ages required for the
roles, whether couples complement each other,
etc. Decisions of the Audition Panel are final
and we cannot enter into discussions about our
choices. We do urge you to consider accepting a
re-call if you were unsuccessful the first time,
as some of our most valued performers have joined
us this way.
Chorus
Benefits
Singing in the chorus of one of
our G&S productions is a valuable musical
experience. Due to our ensemble style of
production, our choruses are featured as
individuals as well as being part of a group. The
contributions of chorus members and principals
are regarded, by Savoy, to be of equal value and
thus in our company, everyone is “a
star”.
What we look for in
Auditions
- General level of
skill.
- Promise of the specific skill
required for the role.
- Willingness to work with
directors.
- Amiability, enthusiasm and
willingness to learn.
- Performers with a well-rounded
talent.
- We do not ignore the
inexperienced newcomer.
