Wolf Trap Opera Company Fan Page: Could We Hear the [Insert Name of Aria Here], Please?
Coming up this week in our Fall 2009 Audition Mini-Course: • Monday – The Second Aria • Tuesday – Musical Preparation • Wednesday – Physicalization • Thursday – Props • Expert Friday – Chicago-based colleagues weigh in Do You Have Any Mozart? Much of the time, you’ll get to choose your first audition aria. Sometimes it’ll be your only aria, but occasionally, you’ll be lucky enough to get to sing two. Or three! You’ve gotta love that brief yet amazingly angst-filled moment after you finish your first audition aria. Waiting for the panel to say “Thank you” (translated: “We don’t need to hear another aria”) or to ask for another selection. We try to minimize the awkwardness by being ready to ask for your second piece in fairly short order after you finish your opener. (Often, we do this by conferring with each other about the 2nd aria choice via instant message on our computers. Look for a discussion of technology in the audition room next week.) Frankly, I’d rather you take the 15-30 sec
