Just Love to Sing! will be holding auditions Saturday,
March 3, for its 2012 season of events to include: “Dinner & Show” series and the operas, “Dido & Aeneas,” and “Amahl and the Night Visitors.” All roles are currently open and it is hoped community members will come forward to participate in the production. “We not only have leading and small roles open to our community, but these operas also have beauti- ful chorus parts which we need to have performed. These English operas are a perfect way to participate in fully staged opera, even if you haven’t done so before,” says Jane Cormier, Director of JLTS. “Dido and Aeneas” will be performed in July and “Amahl” In December. “The rehearsal periods are very short but intense and you can absolutely count on a first rate production complete with costumes, set, and orchestra,” says Cormier. Auditions will be held at All Saints Anglican Church, 124
Hall Street, Concord. An accompanist will be provided and singers should prepare one classical song in English which would include any art song, hymn, or oratorio selection. Both productions will enjoy multiple performances, with one performance at the Concord City Auditorium. Anyone interested in participating in the March 3rd audi-
tions must call (603)781-5695. Time slots will be given out to singers who would like to audition.
