Everyday Emotions, Extraordinary Music.
Opera Quad Cities is now accepting audition submissions for our 2026–27
season. Performance opportunities include Songs for a New World by
Jason Robert Brown, selections from Handel’s Messiah, Donizetti’s L’elisir
d’amore (The Elixir of Love), and additional special events and community
performances throughout the season.
In-person auditions will be held Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 10:00
a.m. – 3:00 p.m. by appointment at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in
Davenport, Iowa. An accompanist will be provided. Singers are also
welcome to be accompanied by a preferred collaborative pianist.
In-person auditions are preferred. If you are unable to attend in person,
video submissions will be accepted through 4:00 p.m. on Friday,
September 18, 2026. Because rehearsals and performances take place in
the Quad Cities area, video submissions will generally be considered from
singers based in the Quad Cities and surrounding region, as well as
singers who can reliably meet all required in-person rehearsal and
performance commitments.
Details for all performance opportunities this season, including anticipated
rehearsal commitments and compensation information, are listed in the
audition form.
