Supernumerary Information

Supernumeraries are people of all ages who share the stage with operatic artists. Supers volunteer their time and act as 'extras' on the stage. Supers can play soldiers, townspeople, nuns, gypsies as well as many other important stage-filling roles. A super's enthusiasm and cooperation is an important part of any operatic production.

Audition information will be coming soon.

You will be provided with a scene or scenes to improvise for your audition.
