Dallas Opera Calls on Public For Extras For DON GIOVANNI
By: Alan Henry Feb. 22, 2018
This may be your chance to appear on the stage of the magnificent Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House in fabulous costumes with world-class opera singers. The Dallas Opera is seeking women and men, in non-singing/non-speaking roles for our upcoming production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's DON GIOVANNI.
The production opens on Friday, April 13, 2018 for six performances at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, ending on April 29, 2018. Actors and supernumeraries (opera's fancy term for "extras") must be able to participate in all six performances, as well as take part in several rehearsals. No singing or speaking is required and a small stipend will be provided.
The Dallas Opera is seeking two male actors and two cover roles to portray the groom's "best men" as well as the father of the bride. These extras will engage in a carefully choreographed fight scene. The company is also seeking a woman who will portray a bride. Actors must be available for both daytime and evening rehearsals.
The Dallas Opera is also seeking several men (supernumeraries) of all ages. The ability to ride a bicycle onstage is considered a plus. "Supers" must be available for evening rehearsals and will be used in a variety of roles as:
Waiters
Delivery Men
Vagrants
Those wishing to be considered for any of these positions should respond as soon as possible, with an emailed headshot and resume to auditions@dallasopera.org. Applicants must submit these materials by March 6, 2018, for more information and to obtain an invitation.
Participants will be contacted by March 12, 2018 if selected to audition.
That audition by invitation will take place on March 17, 2018 at The Dallas Opera Karayanis Rehearsal Production Center located adjacent to Fair Park at 4301 S. Fitzhugh, Dallas, TX 75210 (follow the signs for Gate 12 to a gated parking lot entrance off Gaisford St.).
