Join the RDO roster of singers

Raison d'Etre Opera is always seeking singers, generally aged 55+, who are eager to continue performing in a variety of genres:  Opera, Musical Theater, and Art Song, as well as the Great American Songbook.

We give concerts at local venues and retirement communities throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including Veterans' Day celebrations, holiday Caroling parties, and our annual Valentine's Day concert. Most significantly, we produce at least one opera every season — such as Paulus' THE VILLAGE SINGER, Thomson's THE MOTHER OF US ALL, and this season, the exciting premiere of ALL IN TIME, commissioned for us by composer/librettist Paul John Rudoi.

In addition, we offer voice labs and master classes which encourage singers to grow in skill and confidence as expressive singer-actors with healthy, holistic technique.

Formal auditions are scheduled in relation to our productions, typically in the early fall, but please keep an eye on this website for specific information.
