Info
From all of us at BCO, we sincerely thank you for your interest in auditioning for Bold City Opera's third season! We aim to make your audition experience as positive as possible.
We are currently accepting audition applications for our Season 3 Mainstage production The Medium by Menotti which will be staged in October 2025. Our Mainstage productions are an opportunity for local & regional professional-level talent to be showcased in leading roles. We are also seeking talent for Outreach events, which are opportunities for local avocational, pre-professional, and professional artists to be showcased throughout our community.
In accordance with our mission to highlight and cultivate local talent, casting priority is given to Jacksonville and NE Florida-based singers. BCO is unable to provide artist housing to those unable to commute to rehearsals / performances. All opportunities are paid. All are welcome and encouraged to apply regardless of race, gender, age, and/or sexual orientation.
