Auditions for Opera Quad Cities

Audition Form

Opera Quad Cities Season Auditions:

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.
