2017 NJMEA ALL-STATE OPERA FESTIVAL
Michael Kallimanis-Festival Chair/Kris Zook-Festival Host, Red Band Reg. HS Solo/Ensemble Auditions (no costumes): Fri., Oct. 27, 2017, 5:00 PM
Festival/Concert Date: To be announced, 9:00 AM report time, Concert at 3:00 PM
The NJMEA Opera Festival provides a unique opportunity for the most talented students in your chorus to perform opera literature, receive a critique, and attend a clinic and workshop. An aria from any opera is acceptable. To be
considered for performance on the Festival day, soloists and ensembles must audition on the separate audition day. The term "ensemble" is used to designate any group other than a solo, e.g., duet, trio, and so on. A student may attend only the clinic and workshop on the day of the Festival and not perform a solo or in an ensemble selection, and therefore does not have to audition. All students are expected to sing in the chorus performances on the Festival day. The audition also serves as a competition for the designation of the highest scoring male and female soloists; highest scoring small and large ensembles; and also to vie for the C. Scripps Beebee Scholarship of $500 and The Governor’s Award in Arts Education for Opera to the overall top scorer. Judging results (scores and written comments) and those accepted to perform on the Festival day will be e-mailed to directors. Teachers, please prepare your students for the three chorus numbers as time is limited on the Festival day. Concert dress is semi-formal or in character costume, your choice.
The audition fee is $20.00 per student. Non-auditioning students, participation fee is $10.00 per student. Each student must fill out an
application. Any voicing and any number of students may register. Directors, send all applications with ONE check payable to the NJMEA and enclose a copy of your current NAfME membership card postmarked by Saturday, October 14, 2017 to Michael Kallimanis, All-State Opera Festival Chair, Box 92 Waldwick, NJ 07463. Applications dated after Oct. 14 will not be accepted. Sponsoring directors need not attend the audition but must be present from 10:30 AM until the end of the concert on the Festival day to assist with events. More info, e-mail only -
