Auditions & Singing Opportunities!
HOPERA has concluded auditions for our 2025-2026 mainstage productions, HOWEVER, we are always interested in growing our list of Houston-based artists. Currently, we are accepting applications to be considered for paid and volunteer caroling*, HOPERA for Hire, and concepts for next season’s Pint-Sized Performance series!
Pint-Sized Performances (2026-2027 Season): Artists are engaged to create a unique recital to be presented 2-3 times in different tasting rooms in the Houston Area. All Artists are expected to plan and prepare independently from HOPERA. These performances typically involve 2-4 performers in total, including 1 pianist, but other ensembles are welcome to apply. Only recitals that include vocalists will be considered. There are no language or style restrictions, but classical, operatic, and story-driven music is preferred. Mics are available upon request, and encouraged at outdoor venues. Performances are scheduled by HOPERA around the calendars of the Artists and our Partner Venues, and typically happen within 1 week of each other.
HOPERA for Hire: HOPERA is excited to launch HOPERA for Hire, a new service connecting our talented artists with special events, private parties, and community performances across Houston. We’re looking for singers who bring both vocal excellence and a flair for engaging audiences at bespoke concerts and caroling events. If you’re ready to take your artistry beyond the stage and into memorable, one-of-a-kind experiences, apply at the link below. Artists will be contacted on an as-needed basis.
Volunteer Caroling: Bring holiday cheer where it matters most! HOPERA is seeking volunteer carolers to share music and joy with patients, families, and staff at Texas Children’s Hospital this season. If you love to sing and want to make spirits bright, we’d love for you to join our caroling crew. Artists will be contacted on an as-needed basis.
Stay tuned for 2026-2027 Season auditions!!!
*Note – Singers who sign up and are confirmed as volunteer carolers at the children’s hospital will be prioritized for paid caroling opportunities.
