Seattle Opera Chorus

The Seattle Opera Chorus is a part-time professional chorus. Each chorister is affiliated with the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA). Choristers should be able to physically perform basic stage direction. When possible, within the artistic parameters of a particular production, Management will make its best effort to accommodate reasonable adjustments when requested. Such adjustments will be made solely at Management’s discretion.

Seattle Opera holds bi-annual Open Chorus Auditions for the Associate and Supplemental rosters. Please check back for our next auditions in Fall 2026.
