Wotan
From June 22, 2024 to June 30, 2024
Bergen National Opera welcomes you to apply for the role as Wotan in Das Rheingold at our Summer Academy Opera by the Fjord 2024. A reduced version of Das Rheingold by Richard Wagner will be performed at the final concert on June 30th. The excerpt will have a duration of about 1 hour.
The role as Wotan is to be performed by heart in the original language German. All singers will be students at this year's Summer Academy.
WHAT WE OFFER THE SINGERS AT OUR ACADEMY
Our academy is unique in that singers can rehearse and perform together with an orchestra, in a staged situation, as well as in concert arias. The training program is put into a larger context and will go beyond only vocal training.
In addition to a role in Das Rheingold / Die Zauberflöte (highlights), the singers will get the opportunity to sing one of their favourite arias with the academy orchestra.
In the application form you are required to include your CV, and video recordings of two different arias of your choice – preferably in different styles.
In the “Questionnaire” at the end of the application form, you should please also name three different opera arias which you would like to study and perform in concert. One of them will be picked out for you to be sung with the orchestra during one of the two academy concerts.
