Toledo Opera to Hold Resident Artist Auditions for 2025-2026 Season
Toledo Opera is seeking the following performers to serve as Resident Artists for the 2025-2026 season: soprano, mezzo-soprano, bass/baritone, and pianist. All applications must be submitted through YAP Tracker at YAPTracker.com no later than February 1. Those selected as finalists will be invited to a live audition at the Toledo Opera offices, 425 Jefferson Avenue, Ste. 601, Toledo, Ohio 43604 on Saturday, February 22, 2025. A pianist will be provided.
Toledo Opera’s Resident Artist program began in 1985 and has been entertaining and educating the region’s youth ever since. Resident Artists serve as touring artists for the Opera on Wheels program which travels extensively, visiting local educational institutions and bringing live opera to the furthest reaches of the Toledo area. Annually, the program is performed for 22,000 students from Findlay to Ann Arbor and Sandusky to Archbold.
In addition to Opera on Wheels, the selected Resident Artists (vocalists) are considered for comprimario roles in Toledo Opera’s mainstage performances. Pianists are considered for additional mainstage playing opportunities as well. The five Resident Artists also perform in Toledo Opera’s free Opera Outdoors concert series – touring outdoor community hubs throughout Toledo.
Shared James Norman, General Director at Toledo Opera: “For Toledo Opera, our Resident Artist program is a cornerstone of our mission. It not only nurtures the development of emerging operatic talent but also serves as a vital bridge between our organization and the community. Through this program, we bring the transformative power of opera to schools, libraries, and neighborhoods across the Toledo region. These talented artists inspire the next generation of opera lovers and performers while enriching the cultural fabric of our region. We’re proud to invest in their growth as they invest in ours.”
