In a time when many arts communities seem to be shrinking, Piccola Opera is working to promote a musical renaissance in downtown Concord. With a new studio and office on North Main Street, the organizations’ directors Carlos Martinez and Jane Cormier are hard at work preparing for the upcoming summer season.
Piccola Opera will hold open auditions for community members desiring to perform in The Magic Flute which will be fully staged with orchestra at the Concord City Auditorium July 24 and 25.
The audition will be held May 9, from 9 to 11 a.m. at 8 N. Main St., Concord. An accompanist will be provided free of charge and singers are asked to bring two operatic selections, one in English. These auditions are for singers of all ages as Mozart’s The Magic Flute has roles for children and adults.
“We look forward to educating the public on the beauty and power inherent in the operatic medium. Opera is a wonderful opportunity to bring all the art forms together – music, drama, design, and dance. And, of course, Mozart’s The Magic Flute is a classic which has reigned for over two hundred years,” says Martinez.
