Call for Supernumeraries

Calgary Opera is currently seeking supernumeraries for productions in its 2007-2008 season.

Supernumeraries (or “Supers”) are non-singing roles that are an important part of each production. They take roles such as servants, soldiers, peasants, priests and aristocrats, and have an opportunity to work with a large group of talented artists and technicians, including principal singers, the Calgary Opera Chorus, stage managers, orchestra, conductors, and stage directors.

Supernumeraries who are chosen to be in the cast for a show are usually asked to come to rehearsals for the three or four weeks before the first performance takes place. Most of the rehearsals will be in the evenings, or on weekend afternoons.

If you would like to become a “Super” for our 2007-2008 season please contact:
