Sheffield's only amateur operatic company
Sheffield City Opera is looking for someone to fill the role of Lucia in this Autumn’s Concert of Cavalleria Rusticana.
The role is for a contralto (or mezzo-soprano) and usually played by an older lady.
If you would like to know more or wish to be considered for the role please email auditions@sheffieldcityopera.com and mark your subject as Lucia.
Enjoy two opera favourites in one evening. Expect magic in spades thanks to a little clever staging and costume. Sparkle on the quarterdeck of HMS Pinafore with salty tunes such as ‘We Sail the Ocean Blue’ and ‘A British Tar’. Keep a lookout too, for Buttercup’ and ‘He is an Englishman’.
SCO’s double concert bill also includes Mascagni’s beautiful one act opera ‘Cavalleria Rusticana’. It’s Easter day. Feel the sun as Sicillian peasants sing happy songs of Spring. Meanwhile hearts are breaking. Let SCO soloists and chorus break yours too, with their exquisite interpretation of the climactic ‘Easter Hymn’.
