What: You are auditioning for our upcoming productions and performances from January 1, 2016-December 31, 2016. Please come prepared with availability (i.e. vacations, work schedules, etc). Please note that we do not focus our efforts on traditional, full-length productions, but rather themed concerts, educational children’s programming, and other "portable" endeavors.

When: Sunday, December 13th from 2:30p-4:30p by appointment only.

The Great Lakes Light Opera seeks to offer Cleveland an educational and outreach-focused/oriented opera company that connects with all audiences, from the seasoned opera-goer to those with no previous exposure to classical music of any kind. We will achieve this mission by:
*Reaching out to atypical venues in order to perform “portable” concerts of opera scenes and other vocal art music.
*Educating audiences of all ages by presenting lecture recitals, which give the audience/performers an opportunity to connect with the text/history/theory behind classical music.
*Programming unique operas, concerts, and revues with the aim of piquing the interest of the community.
*Mining Cleveland’s rich community of artists and musicians who are equally committed to de-mystifying and revitalizing the traditional art music scene.
